00:06people took part in the 16th annual Prague Pride Parade in support of LGBTQ plus rights.
00:13Tens of thousands of people set out from the capital's lower end of Wenceslas Square at noon after observing a
00:21minute of silence for the victims of the July attack in Berlin where one person was killed and dozens injured.
00:28Participants were allowed to carry banners by hand or use reusable plastic poles while wooden poles and handles were banned
00:37for security reasons while hundreds of police officers and an anti-conflict team were overseeing the parade.
00:44Under the general slogan times are changing, the event focused on safety, community and sharing.
00:51The parade took place for the first time in August 2011 when it sparked fierce protests from conservatives.
