Renée Zellweger and the Red Arrows led Pride celebrations in London in what was hailed as the biggest and most diverse Pride event the city has ever seen.
The Bridget Jones actress joined thousands of people for a huge party in the capital, draping herself in a rainbow flag in Trafalgar Square.
Lord Of The Rings star Sir Ian McKellen and Singer-songwriter Sam Smith were also among the crowds as they watched a colourful performance by the iconic Red Arrows.
This year’s parade has fallen on the 50-year anniversary of the Stonewall uprising in New York City, which changed the face of the gay rights movement around the world.
Groups have honoured five decades of activism, protests and victories, with those behind this year’s march saying it is an opportunity for people to stand up against bigotry and hatred in all its forms.
Organisers predicted as many as 1.5 million people were set to turn out for the event, with a staggering 600 groups marching through the capital’s streets for the annual burst of colour, music and dance.
On the other hand, this is the worst period to be a Nigerian as many members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) community celebrated the golden anniversary in silence and fear of persecution.
Nigerian constitution forbids same sex marriage and irrespective of their sexual orientation which is exogenous to them as an individual, they may not be as happy or as proud as their contemporaries in other parts of the world.
