Pride London 2017
On Saturday 8th July 2017 the streets of London turned multi-coloured to celebrate Pride 2017. Pride London is one of the biggest in Europe. More than 26,000 people took to the streets, part of 300 different groups, in the biggest march in the event’s 45-year history.
The 1.4 mile route began at 1pm in Portland Place, and passed through Oxford Circus and Regent Street, before ending at Whitehall. Crowds of 1 million people dressed up as a colourful procession of floats, performers and dance troupes made their way past some of the city’s landmarks.
The SES Group joined employees from the Metropolitan Police, London Ambulance Service and London Fire Brigade, who were nominated to launch the parade. They joined flag bearers representing countries around the world, including those where it is still illegal to be LGBT.
The theme for 2017 is ‘Love Happens Here’
The SES Group were honoured to part of a special day celebrating all the different cultures that London and the UK have to offer.
