The last photo of The Queen after she appointed her new Prime Minister to ensure the continuity of government.
Her reign ended where it began - “devoted to our service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong.”
On this day in 1992, we lost Marsha P. Johnson. 🌸🏳️⚧️
A Black trans activist, drag queen and self-described "saint of Christopher Street," Marsha was at the very front of the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement.
She was there at the Stonewall uprising in 1969, marched in the first Pride the following year, and co-founded STAR alongside Sylvia Rivera, giving food, shelter and family to homeless queer and trans youth when almost no one else would. Later, as the AIDS crisis tore through her community, she showed up again, caring for the sick and fighting with ACT UP.
On International LGBT+ Pride Day, we celebrate London’s diversity and the freedom to be who you are and love who you love.
London stands proud as a beacon of equality. Next weekend, hundreds of thousands of people will take to the streets of the capital for Pride in London 🏳️🌈
Feeling incredibly validated by the London Standard's ranking of the temperature on the Tube lines.
For the Americans, that means the Central line is 103F degrees!
