Pride London: Going Down

Good to see some realism appearing to have descended upon organisers of Pride London who have said 25,000 people went on yesterday's march.
Will they now retract the ludicrous claim that a million people attended last year - a claim obediently repeated uncontested in many media.
Curiously Pride's website said yesterday's 25,000 was "the biggest turnout ever"?
Eh?
You'd have to go back to the mid-Eighties to find an official figure for a London Pride that small.
So was it the biggest ever, the smallest in a generation, a typo, or just the most honest estimate?

PS How Brighton Pride admitted to over-estimating attendance by perhaps as much as six times...

PPS Only three national newspapers reviewed Pride today, The Daily Mirror, The Guardian/Observer Online and The Independent On Sunday (The Mail ran the personal piece in the above post).

• Photo of "Aggressive and intolerant 'Queer Resistance' activists' from Christian Voice's hilarious Pride review; "The parade featured drag queens, people with their backsides on show, men in what we understand is ‘bondage gear’, sexually-charged costumes, the hostility of Stonewall and Queer Resistance, under-age participants and people whose tee-shirts said: ‘I’ll bet you’re thinking about sex’.
"It was an in-your-face offensive onslaught of aggression, intolerance, depravity and division designed to intimidate and assault the mind."
