Tens of thousands of people took part in the Prague Pride parade of the LGBT community on Saturday while a similar march in neighbouring Poland went smoothly despite fears of far-right disruption.
"We had 30,000 people according to our estimate which we arrived at after consulting the
police," said Bohdana Rambouskova, spokeswoman for the week-long Prague Pride festival.
On Thursday, someone set
fire to a rainbow flag in central Prague and fired flares at an island hosting the festival workshops and other events.
