                     A visit by the gang of three, Helen had ricked her back and could not go, to London's Gay Pride Celebration and Parade on 28th June 2014 below the green row. We walked from Tottenham Court Road Tube to Regents Street which is covered first below.

I was unable to distinguish between male and female participants
