Uniformed members of the British Army, including Army Cadets, marched in Saturday’s London Pride parade on 6 July. Service personnel carried rainbow and transgender flags alongside the Union Jack as they moved through central London, demonstrating the military’s public support for LGBTQ+ inclusion. The appearance marked the latest instance of the UK Armed Forces taking part in Pride events, a practice endorsed by the Ministry of Defence to promote diversity within the ranks. While some social-media commentators questioned whether troops should appear in uniform at such celebrations, the ministry has previously said participation is voluntary and consistent with its equality policies.
