Painting the town pink

Around 250,000 flooded the streets last year for this annual party parade. This year the event promises to be even bigger with around half a million revellers joining the 80 floats and walking bands as they head down Oxford Street and Regent Street.

In Trafalgar Square there'll be community stalls and music, along with major speakers celebrating the Gay Rights movement, Leicester Square will play host to cabaret and bands, and there'll be a huge market and food festival in Soho.

EuroPride 2006, Sat 1 Jul 2006. Parade sets off from Marble Arch at 12pm. Visit www.pridelondon.org for more information
