I have never been to a Pride Parade before, I was made aware
that the London Pride Parade was approaching and I decided it would be fun to
attend my first Pride Parade in London. On the day of the parade it was raining
really hard so I thought not that many people would attend; to my surprise the
streets were filled. Community
organizations, campaigners, charities, police academies and individuals
participated in the parade.
The parade was so colorful and lively and the crowd
was enthusiastic and cheerful. I
think the rain emphasized the support of the audience for the occasion. I was
touched by the smiles on the faces of people as they marched the parade; it was
their moment to shine. They all loved the attention and loved stopping for
pictures.
Many of them dressed in exotic colorful costumes, some as famous
people. I captured pictures of princesses, Princess Diana and Queen Elizabeth. When the parade was ending I tried to
exit with my friends and somehow ended up walking in the parade! The parade was
so fun to attend; I will always remember my first Pride Parade was in London.
