New York City Pride took place today with some very distinguished guests.
Veteran British actors Sir Ian McKellen and Sir Derek Jacobi were among those celebrating – and both had the roles of Grand Marshal.
They were in town to promote their sitcom Vicious, in which they play an older gay couple.
A video surfaced shortly after the Supreme Court judgement of Sir Derek proposing to Sir Ian – although perhaps not entirely seriously.
New York is the home of the Stonewall Inn – the iconic bar the saw the Stonewall Riots in 1967 kick off the LGBT rights movement. It was recently granted landmark status .
