Thousands of people turned out for Reykjavik Pride today and it looked incredible.

For the first time since the Pride started in 1999, asexuals joined in the march.

Gyða Bjarkadóttir from Asexual in Iceland said: “In Iceland, there are many misconceptions surrounding asexuality and to the general public asexuality is still relatively unknown.”

The Pride is the largest one in the country.

Here are our favourite pictures from the celebration.

A singular “dyke on a bike” led headed up the Pride parade.

There was a sea of flags throughout the day.

People wore their best, and most colourful outfits.

Even the houses were decorated for the event.

Everybody was represented at the event, as asexuals marched for the first time.

There were brilliant signs.

And beautiful flowers.

Pride goers were blessed with a beautifully sunny day.

And of course, there was lots of confetti!
