London Pride is happening this Saturday, June 29, and each year the organisers come up with a theme for the festivities. This year's theme is 'We Are Everywhere' - which seeks to celebrate the power, presence and importance of the whole LGBTQ+ community, as a driver for positive change in the vital fabric of London’s past, present and future.

The organisers have started a hashtag - #WeAreEverywhere - to spread the message. The point is to champion the everyday lives of Londoners and focus on the individuals whose power comes from their defiance and determination to live as their unapologetic selves. Simply by doing this, they pave the way for others, the Pride in London's website said.

Pride in London said: "Pride in London’s 2024 campaign holds London up as the queer capital of the world by giving voice to the city’s proud people. #WeAreEverywhere utilises striking visuals and lines that demonstrate moments of empowerment, accompanied by accounts of everyday LGBTQ+ experiences.

There will also be an exhibition of LGBTQ+ Londoners' place in history on June 29 and pictures from across the community shown in Piccadilly Circus. Taking place on June 29, the Pride in London 2024 Parade promises to be a "striking culmination in demonstration of LGBTQ+ pride and solidarity.

"Join us, unapologetically. We want you to share your moments of everyday pride and empowerment with the hashtag #WeAreEverywhere. Let’s show what makes London one of the most amazing LGBTQ+-supporting cities in the world."

The all-day festival will feature a massive parade right through central London starting at 12pm on Park Lane, through Piccadilly Circus, then Trafalgar Square to end on Whitehall. This will feature larger-than-life floats, jubilant LGBTQ+ members of all shapes and sizes and a million different rainbows. There will be several points where you can cross but the route will be closed to vehicles all day. For further details, click here.
