EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in London's vibrant history. Taken by renowned photographer Bob Battersby, the image showcases the Gay Pride parade that took place on June 30th, 1979, along Pall Mall. The atmosphere is electric as demonstrators peacefully march through the streets, demanding civil rights for the gay community. Amidst the sea of activists proudly waving banners and balloons from a Ford Transit carnival float, we see a significant presence of police constables providing an escort to ensure safety during this groundbreaking event. The Metropolitan police's involvement signifies both progress and acknowledgment of the growing movement for gay rights. The photograph beautifully encapsulates the spirit of unity and resilience exhibited by those fighting for equality. It serves as a poignant reminder of how far society has come in recognizing and embracing diversity while acknowledging there is still work to be done. Battersby's lens skillfully captures this pivotal moment in time when "Gays The Word" became more than just a slogan; it became an anthem for change. This print stands as a testament to London's rich LGBTQ+ history and its ongoing commitment to inclusivity.
