EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Bob Battersby, we are transported back to the vibrant and empowering atmosphere of the Gay Pride Parade in London, England. The image showcases a Ford Transit series 2 pickup carnival float adorned with colorful decorations, symbolizing unity and celebration. Standing out amidst the jubilant crowd is a Metropolitan Police control van, representing an important milestone in LGBTQ+ history. Dated June 30th, 1979, this snapshot encapsulates a momentous occasion for the gay community as they peacefully protested for their rights. The iconic clock tower of St James Palace serves as a backdrop to this powerful scene, emphasizing both tradition and progress. The presence of police constables and sergeants from the Metropolitan Police highlights their role in ensuring safety during such events. It also signifies a significant shift towards inclusivity within law enforcement institutions at that time. Notably featured on the float are banners displaying "Gays The Word" and "London Gay Switchboard" two organizations that played pivotal roles in supporting LGBTQ+ individuals during this era. This photograph immortalizes an extraordinary chapter in London's history when Stonewall-inspired activism began to reshape societal attitudes towards sexual orientation. Through Bob Battersby's lens, we witness resilience, pride, and hope shining brightly against adversity.
