Even though many in London felt fearful and still shaken by recent violence there, more than 26,000 people joined the Pride Parade through central London this past weekend, as reported by the BBC.

The annual parade, now in its 45th year, also notes the decriminalization of homosexuality in England and Wales 50 years ago.
