More than 500 people gathered on Saturday for The East London Gay Pride march.
BBC news reports:
The East London Gay Pride march took place on Saturday – after a difficult year for the homosexual community in the area.
The event had been due to take place in April but was cancelled after it was alleged one of the organisers, Raymond Berry, had links to the English Defence League.
It has been reported he no longer has links to the far-right group, and Mr Berry and the original organising committee resigned.
And earlier this year Mohammed Hasnath, 18, from Tower Hamlets, east London, was fined for putting up anti-gay flyers in the area.
The flyers had read “Gay free zone”.
The organisers said the march was about being visible and building community relations.
