Commenting on the day, Lucy Ann Burke, Co - Lead of the Rainbow Network said:

'London pride is a great opportunity for the Diageo Rainbow network to come together with support, not only from Diageo, but our colleagues, friends and family.

'Everyone pulls together to make a contribution to the LGBT+ community, support our DRINKiQ agenda and have fun! It's a fantastic day and being there with a purpose makes it even more so.

Seeing so many people across Pride enjoying our water, posing for photos and engaging with our responsible drinking agenda, makes us proud to work for a company that supports not only who we are but also our ideas and actions.'

In addition to our employees, our brands have been celebrating Pride, with Smirnoff partnering with the LGBT Foundation and Stonegate Pub Company as Pride takes place across the UK. The collaboration sees a donation of 50p from every Smirnoff Soda Smash sold at participating Stonegate venues during London Pride (6th July), Brighton Pride (3rd August), Leeds Pride (4th August) and Manchester Pride (24th August) donated to LGBT Foundation.

LGBT Foundation's Village Angels and Soho Angels will also be out on the streets in all four cities on Pride days, proudly supported by Smirnoff.
