Organisers said 2019's event was the biggest ever
London's Pride parade will return this summer for the first time since 2019.
The UK's biggest LGBT festival has not been held for the past two summers due to the coronavirus pandemic.

London Pride, set to take place on 2 July, is among hundreds of similar events that have been cancelled or postponed in the past two years.
