Pride month has seen the LGBTQ+ community and their allies celebrate at parties and performances all across the globe, and today (July 7) those celebrations come to England's capital for the annual Pride in London parade.
According to ITV, more than one million took to the streets this year, including 30,000 people from 472 organisations who took part in the march through the capital, and many, many more have been sharing their support on social media too.
Little Mix's Jade Thirlwall, an ambassador for LGBT+ equality charity Stonewall UK, was among the celebrities leading the online messages today as she shared a message to all of the bands' LGBTQ+ fans.

"We LOVE you for who you are and are born to be", Jade wrote. "#Pride is a time to come together, to celebrate and spread love and acceptance without exception whilst learning and knowing the history of why Pride exists in the first place.
"As an ALLY I promise to never stop supporting your rights, using my platform to raise awareness and challenge any form of homophobia/biphobia/transphobia."
