Setting off from Hyde Park Corner, the parade journeyed through Central London, where thousands of spectators lined the route through Piccadilly Circus, passing the grand backdrop of Trafalgar Square, through Haymarket and culminating on Whitehall.

Representing one of more than 600 parade entries was a Proud Lilywhites branded open-top bus, wrapped in Pride rainbow colours and provided in partnership with Big Green Coach. Aboard the bus, members of Proud Lilywhites were joined by Club staff, all donning ‘Pride in London 2026’ t-shirts.

Proud Lilywhites works alongside the Club with the aim of driving inclusivity and bringing LGBTQI+ supporters together around their shared love of Spurs. The group has grown from a small number of supporters at their point of establishment in 2014, to standing today with over 1,000 members following over a decade of campaigning, events, training and visibility work to promote LGBTQI+ inclusion across the game.

Kyle Boyd, Co-Chair of Proud Lilywhites, said: “This year’s Pride in London theme, ‘Embracing Everyone: A Home for all of London’s LGBTQIA+ communities’, is a powerful reminder that everyone deserves to feel they belong. As we took to the streets of London on Saturday, we were reminded that, now more than ever, it is essential that we embrace, celebrate and stand alongside LGBTQIA+ people across our communities.

“Tottenham Hotspur is a club built on community, inclusion and ambition. Those values inspire us to continue creating an environment where everyone feels welcome, respected and empowered to be their authentic selves.

“Proud Lilywhites is proud to play its part in ensuring our LGBTQIA+ supporters know they have a place within our Spurs family. Pride is not just about celebrating how far we’ve come. It is also about reaffirming our commitment to building a game and a society where everyone is treated with dignity, respect and equality. Together, by embracing one another and standing united, we can help ensure football remains a place where everyone truly belongs.”
