South Wales Police has issued a statement following an incident at the Pride Cymru march in Cardiff. Although the day largely passed without incident, with thousands marching through the city centre in a celebration of LGBTQ+ rights, police had to intervene when they said a small group tried to block the procession.
The group was asked by police officers to move on. Reports and videos of the incident circulated on social media, with South Wales Police issuing a statement later on Saturday evening.
A spokesperson said: "South Wales Police worked closely with the local authority and Pride Cymru to facilitate a march through Cardiff City Centre on Saturday August 27. During the event, officers were required to engage with a small protest group who had assembled themselves on the route to block the procession.
