Stockholm Pride Parade

There was a brief moment earlier today when the bloke standing next to me and I looked at each other in momentary disbelief.

A second later, and we didn’t need to exchange any words, because we both knew we both just seen a man go past us on roller skates wearing nothing but a rainbow flag.

And yes, you guessed it, at the very moment he went past us, the wind whipped up the flag to reveal more than I’ve seen in quite a while.

After the reasonably dull weather of the last week, there were blue skies in Stockholm today. Shorts weather. Underwear weather. Or indeed, nothing at all.

Though I wasn’t fast enough to snap the man on roller skates, these are some of my favourite photographs from today’s Stockholm Pride parade.
