EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by Bob Battersby from EyeUbiquitous, takes us back to a historic moment in London's vibrant history. The image showcases the Gay Pride Parade that took place on June 30th, 1979, along the iconic Strand street. The parade is filled with an atmosphere of unity and resilience as participants proudly march through the city streets holding colorful banners advocating for gay rights. Amidst this peaceful protest, we see a Metropolitan Police escort accompanying the procession, symbolizing a significant shift towards acceptance and understanding. A police sergeant stands tall amongst the crowd, representing a progressive stance taken by law enforcement during this time. This powerful visual demonstrates how even within institutions like the police force, support for LGBTQ+ communities was beginning to emerge. Notable organizations such as the London Gay Switchboard and Gay Teachers Group are represented in this photograph - their presence highlighting their crucial role in providing support and resources for individuals within these marginalized communities. As our gaze extends beyond the parade itself, we catch glimpses of London's stunning architecture lining both sides of the street. These buildings serve as witnesses to this pivotal moment in history when voices were raised against discrimination and inequality. Bob Battersby's skillful lens captures not just an event but also an era defined by bravery and determination. This print serves as a timeless reminder of how far society has come on its journey towards equality while inspiring continued progress for future generations.
