Stockholm – Rain showers failed to dampen the party spirit Saturday as thousands of people waving rainbow flags, balloons – and the odd umbrella – took part in the Europride parade in Stockholm. The parade capped the 10-day event that has attracted thousands of homosexuals, bisexuals and transgendered individuals from near and far. Europride 2009 is due to be hosted by the Swiss city of Zurich.
Bystanders cheered and applauded as floats passed by, many equipped with massive loudspeaker systems blaring out popular hit songs.
