This is the moment a reveller at London Pride was restrained by police after seemingly attempting to attack Christian counter-protestors.
The protestors gathered alongside the Pride parade reciting religious sermons criticising the march.
The group of eight activists - seven men and one woman - stood within a fenced off section adjacent to the route of the parade.
Several police officers were stationed around the counter-protest, set up on Piccadilly, to prevent potential clashes.
The group held placards reading: 'Repent and turn to Christ' and 'Be not proud, for the Lord hath spoken...a man's pride shall bring him low'.
A middle-aged man addressed the parade through a loudspeaker and was met with jeers from marchers in ridicule.
It comes afterLondon Mayor Sadiq Khan led the crowd at the capitals Pride parade whilst a group chanted 'there is no pride in genocide' elsewhere in the city.
His wife Saadiya Khan and Conservative Assembly member Andrew Boff as well as MAFS star Ella Morgan, double Olympic gold medallist Kelly Homes were also present at the march which set off from Hyde Park today.
In a statement, the mayor said as a 'proud ally' the event was one of his annual highlights, having been present every year since 2016.
Elsewhere in London, the group Queers for Palestine walked through Piccadilly chanting: 'There is no pride in genocide'.
The 50-person group waved posters accusing Israel of genocide whilst also alleging the state was 'pinkwashing' to improve its international reputation.
Pinkwashing - also known as rainbow-washing - is a term used to describe the practice of trying to benefit from supporting LGBTQ rights as a way to profit or divert away from another agenda.
Tahir Kesai, a 50-year-old who was part of the group, said: 'We decided to march because we think it's important to be here. We're too passionate about this cause to not participate.'
In a full statement about the Pride in London parade, Sadiq Khan said: 'I'm delighted that London's diverse LGBTQI+ communities and allies are once again joining together in the heart of our capital for our world-renowned Pride celebrations and march of solidarity.
'Pride is one of the highlights of my year and it is an honour to have been on every march since I was first elected as mayor in 2016.
'This incredible event is a shining light for LGBTQI+ rights and shows why our city is a beacon for openness and inclusion - a place where you are embraced and celebrated for who you are. Our capital's LGBTQI+ communities make a huge contribution to life in London.
'There is however still work to be done to achieve true equality, and as a proud ally, I'll continue to stand side-by-side with our capital's LGBTQI+ communities as we work to build a better London for all.'
Dee Chanelle, director of Zodiac, who is hosting the official Pride in London Social, said: 'Pride is a time of unity where everyone comes together to celebrate LGBTQ+ rights.
'Freedom to express yourself and live authentically is very important.
'London is open to all this Saturday and we are proud to have our employees take part in the parade.
' It's important to employ members of the LGBTQ+ community from gifted entertainers to those who otherwise struggle with work opportunities based on appearance and sexual orientation.
'The atmosphere is London is amazing today and we are ready to welcome the crowds in later for our busiest day of the year.
'We are contributing not only to this important day but helping to boost the London economy.'
