For the second year in a row the queens from **Drag Bus** took part in **Pride in London** and wowed the crowds with their message of ‘love, respect and equality’. 

Drag Bus, which was launched in **Brighton** two years ago has since expanded to **London** and **Bournemouth**, with **Belfast**, **Bristol**, **Essex** and **Liverpool** services launching soon. Queens from each of the cities came together to walk with Pride, including **Cherry Bomb**, **Shallow Vera**, **Didi Deville**, **Ruby Violet** and **Rubella Vaxine**.

After a grey and damp start, the day cleared up and the Drag Bus rolled through London on the largest Pride event to date. Whilst there was a party atmosphere there was also a real sense of returning to the essence of Pride, delivering a message that rights will be fought for.

The queens were joined again by Queen of Hi-NRG and Pride veteran **Hazell Dean**, who reminded people that Pride was and is a protest and we must all stand together to fight for equality for the whole LGBTQ+ community.

Kevin, founder of Drag Bus, stated “Pride in London is very special to me, having been my first when I moved here some decades ago. It will always hold a place in my heart. To now be part of it is something special, particularly this year when we saw so many people delivering a very clear message of community. 

"From a personal point of view hearing a large group of people chanting “Drag Bus” as we passed **The Ritz,** who turned out to have been passengers on the London tour was a special moment. For an idea that started so small two years ago in Brighton it gave me goosebumps and certainly was a joyous moment, and when I saw the reaction to our fabulous queens I was incredibly proud”
