People gesture at Leicester Square underground station as they head to Hyde Park to take part in the Pride in London parade, in London, Saturday July 1, 2023. The technicolor, dance-filled London Pride march briefly came to a halt Saturday as climate activists blocked a Coca-Cola float to protest event organizers accepting sponsorship money from "high-polluting industries.
The protest halted the march that drew tens of thousands of participants. It was the 51st year of the march and the theme was "Never March Alone" in support of transgender and non-binary people. "Pride is a protest and pride is a celebration," De'Athe-Morris said. "Anyone who tries to disrupt that protest and parade is really letting down those people who use this space once a year to come together to celebrate and protest for those rights."
