The Pride in London parade takes place on Saturday 8 July and the BBC wants to hear from you.

Pride provides a platform for global LGBT+ communities to celebrate sexual and gender diversity. It raises awareness of issues through various events, culminating in the Pride parade.

This year the parade marks its 45th anniversary. So what does Pride mean to you?
