London Pride has been cancelled for a second year in a row due to coronavirus.

 The UK’s biggest LGBTQ pride festival usually takes place in the capital but was cancelled last year due to the pandemic.

Organisers say this year’s event could not go ahead under current guidelines.

The event usually sees tens of thousands marching and celebrating through the streets of central London that are shut off to usual traffic.

Executive director Chris Joell-Deshields says 2022 will be the most inclusive yet.
