The Houses of Parliament were lit up in the colours of the rainbow flag to celebrate London Pride at the weekend. This is the first time this has happened.
2017 marks 50 years since homosexuality was decriminalised in the UK. In 1972 the first gay pride was held in London, with 2000 people taking part. This year 26,000 people joined the parade to celebrate LGBT equality and 1 million people lined the streets to watch and cheer to show their support.
