Three men in drag, known as the Big Wigs, get ready to take part in the Pride in London Parade.

---

Three years after the famous 1969 riot at the Stonewall bar in New York, the first UK Gay Pride Rally was held in London. It was a relatively small affair. By the mid-2000s, the name Pride London had been adopted, Regent Street and Oxford Street were closed to traffic for the parade and thousands were taking part. It’s changed its name again now – to “Pride in London” – and is hugely well attended by the lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and trans-gender community.
