The wife of British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has joined thousands of revelers in London's latest gay pride march through the streets of the capital's main shopping district.
Sarah Brown carried a red, white and pink version of the Union Jack as the noisy parade wound through the city center before a rally and concert in Trafalgar Square.
Everyone from drag queens to firefighters and soldiers in uniform joined the parade, organized by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender groups.
Earlier, organizers met the Browns outside 10 Downing St.
The prime minister said Britain had made "massive strides towards equality," including the introduction of civil partnerships for gay couples. These have the same legal status as marriage, but some campaigners want the word marriage to apply to both gay and straight couples.
London Mayor Boris Johnson meanwhile sent a video message to the participants, in which he said "how proud" he was to be supporting the event.
