Uniformed officers are not welcome to march in the parade at this year's Pride festival in London, organisers have said in response to what they said was the Metropolitan Police's "homophobic" handling of its investigation into the murder of young gay men by Grindr killer Stephen Port.
A number of groups, including the Gay Liberation Front - which organised the first march in 1972 - have signed an open letter saying it is "time to end the practice of police participation in Pride each year."
