With over a half-a-million people watching, 35,000 people marching, and 500 groups performing, this year's Pride parade is set to be the UK's biggest-ever celebration of the LGBT+ community.

The aim of the parade is to highlight the continuing challenges, inequalities and discrimination that they face every day.

Spectators can watch from the side of the street for free or buy themselves a ticket in one of the seated grandstands.

The main grandstand is in Piccadilly, but this year they've put up an extra one in Cockspur Street which gives a good view of the parade as it nears Trafalgar Square. See their website for details about how to buy a ticket.
