The countdown to World Pride has begun, and promises to be bigger, bolder, and braver than ever before.
It promises to be one of the highlights of the London summer calendar, sitting comfortably next to the Diamond Jubilee and Olympic Games.
World Pride will be taking over Soho, the gay heart of London, on 17 June to officially launch the event.
The festival will take place from 17 June to 8 July, with the main parade on Saturday 7 July
Pride London and global LGBT organization Kaleidoscope Trust will be honoring US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton with the World LGBT Award this July at a gala dinner to celebrate the event.
