Simon Cour-Polais, 62, marched with Opening Doors London, the LGBT over-50s group. He has been with ODL for six prides, but has lost count of how many times he has attended the event in his life time.

“It feels wonderful, absolutely wonderful,” he said, when asked how it felt to be marching with ODL. “Years ago I couldn’t even have conceived of doing this, to be with my own age group marching down London.”
