I'll be going, this will be my 28th successive year at London Pride. It's been strange going from a time when there seemed to be as many police as us marchers to when you can hardly see any police. I have a Samsung NX500 (3/4 size DSLR) but only a 50mm lens, never feeling rich enough to fork out for the 200mm one. My understanding is that WMUK will only lend a camera to members, so I have not asked. Meeting up with a friend at the start of the march and then we'll probably walk to a couple of other locations as it progresses. A press pass might be useful, but without a more impressive camera I'd not be comfortable approaching the PR team. If anyone wants to try to touch base on the day, feel free to email me for my mobile contact, though I'm staying flexible depending on the weather.

The 2017 Pride in London category has been set up. If anyone has photos from today please drop them in! https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Pride_in_London_2017 I managed to photo some of the groups as they were assembling by getting friendly with a steward, though in theory a pass was needed.

Nudge. If anyone has photos on their camera from last weekend's Pride in London, don't forget to upload them to Commons and add the 2017 category. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Pride_in_London_2017 I'm going to be able to join Newcastle Pride next weekend, the march is on Saturday with the festival running from Friday through to Sunday. It's one of the UK's largest events with over 12,500 joining the parade last year. I'll be taking some photographs of the start. If anyone is handy for Newcastle, it would make a neat photography project, or maybe you just fancy the free festival events and the all night clubbing that the city is famous for and could share some shots afterwards that help capture the scene for prosperity. :-) http://www.northern-pride.com/event/parade Thanks, Fae

The photo of the Lord Mayor at the front of the march seems pretty useful, as Commons as no other photographs of her.
