“…wander to somewhere along the route of the march. You'll both be very welcome and have an excellent time. :o)” Two or three years ago I was unfortunate enough to be “somewhere along the route of the march”, not wandering but trying to go about my business.

//The Pride in London showpiece parade will be launched by the emergency services in honour of their bravery shown in recent tragic events, organisers said.
The festival said London's Fire and Rescue service, the Metropolitan Police and London Ambulance service are all nominating LGBT+ colleagues to officially open the parade at 1pm on Saturday.
Colleagues who were involved in the Grenfell Tower fire, the London Bridge terror attack and the Westminster terror attack will be joined by flag bearers showing flags from countries around the world, including countries where it is still illegal to be LGBT.//

"...perhaps if you were more willing to read reports of LGBT issues you'd have been more prepared during your journey?"
Quite true, jack. But I have no reason to read them. As I have a full programme keeping up with the (very few) sports I enjoy, keeping an eye on political news and reading "Railway Magazine", "Steam News" and "What's Brewing" I have to prioritise.
As an aside I hold no brief (or anti-brief) for LGBT matters. They are of no interest to me and I couldn't give two hoots about them. But, as with the Notting Hill Carnival, for every person on the streets "enjoying themselves" there are probably three or four wondering how they might go about their normal business.
