Lesbian pride festival, Dyke March, will return to the UK for its second year running.

The march, taking place on 22 June, has announced this year’s route will commemorate the Votes for Women Rally – the Suffragettes marched the same way through London in 1908.

Dyke March says the event will begin at 3pm in Berkeley Square, moving on to Piccadilly and Leicester Square before arriving in Soho.
