Thousands of people turned out for Reykjavik Pride today and it looked incredible.

For the first time since the Pride started in 1999, asexuals joined in the march.

Gyða Bjarkadóttir from Asexual in Iceland said: “In Iceland, there are many misconceptions surrounding asexuality and to the general public asexuality is still relatively unknown.”

The Pride is the largest one in the country.

Here are our favourite pictures from the celebration.

A singular “dyke on a bike” led headed up the Pride parade.
