Around 100,000 people have marched in Budapest in Hungary's largest ever LGBTQ+ Pride event in defiance of a government ban

Hungarian strongman Viktor Orbán was named "King of European Pride" after his attempts to cancel the festivities increased turnout massively.

Beneath a blaze of rainbow flags and amid roars of defiance, big crowds gathered in the Hungarian capital Budapest for the city’s 30th annual Pride march – an event that, this year, is unfolding as both a celebration and a protest.
