I'll be going, this will be my 28th successive year at London Pride. It's been strange going from a time when there seemed to be as many police as us marchers to when you can hardly see any police. I have a Samsung NX500 (3/4 size DSLR) but only a 50mm lens, never feeling rich enough to fork out for the 200mm one. My understanding is that WMUK will only lend a camera to members, so I have not asked.
Meeting up with a friend at the start of the march and then we'll probably walk to a couple of other locations as it progresses. A press pass might be useful, but without a more impressive camera I'd not be comfortable approaching the PR team.
If anyone wants to try to touch base on the day, feel free to email me for my mobile contact, though I'm staying flexible depending on the weather.
Thanks, Fae

Hello mailing list. Last year we had a lot of fun taking photos at the Pride march in London. This year it's on Saturday 8th July and we can get press accreditation for photographers if anyone is interested in attending. You should have a professional quality camera. If there are any other events you would like to get press accreditation to go to, get in contact and let me know and I can ask for you.
