This year's pride parade in Stockholm has begun. Starting at 1 pm on Saturday, tens of thousands march in the colors of the rainbow from Norr Mälarstrand to Östermalms IP in the central capital.
Stockholm Pride is the Nordic region's largest pride festival and is being held for the 27th year in a row. Over 200 teams participate in the parade.
The Liberals' Simona Mohamsson is the only party leader from the government participating in this year's pride parade. Also Magdalena Andersson (S), Anna-Karin Hatt (C), Nooshi Dadgostar (V) and the spokespersons Amanda Lind and Daniel Helldén (Green party) are walking in the parade.
The Sweden Democrats are not welcome at Stockholm Pride since 2014.
