Hundreds of thousands out for London's gay pride

Rainbow flags, colourful costumes and even a dog dyed pink ushered in London's 42nd gay pride festivities, with hundreds of thousands of people out for the annual celebration. Around 15,000 marched in the parade through the British capital, with up to half a million revellers expected to celebrate in central London, according to organisers.
Celebrations are due to culminate in an open-air party in Trafalgar Square, with street celebrations in the gay district expected long into the night. The annual party comes just weeks after British lawmakers approved gay marriage legislation, paving the way for the first expected ceremonies to take place in the spring of next year.
