LONDON Pride organisers have relegated trade unions from the front of this year’s parade to make way for big money sponsors.

The Star revealed last week that Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) is set to lead the June 27 parade after their solidarity story was told on the silver screen in Bafta-winning film Pride.

It was supported to lead a huge block of union members to mark the 30th anniversary of the 1984-85 miners’ strike.
