Constable F and PSNI colleague meet An Taoiseach Leo Varadkar at Belfast Pride breakfast
POLICE in Derry are delighted after one its officers who normally patrols the city took part in yesterday’s Belfast Pride parade.
Several thousand people joined the carnival festival on the sunkissed streets of the city centre yesterday for the annual Belfast Pride parade.
Among them were a group of PSNI and An Garda Siochana Officers.
PSNI Foyle said on its Facebook page: “Our own Constable F 
👮🏻 left the Maiden City for a day and headed to Belfast Pride 
🌈
“The amount of support he and our colleagues received was overwhelming.
“He even bumped into the one and only Leo Varadkar the Taoiseach!”
Taoiseach Varadkar attended the Belfast Pride breakfast but was unable to stay for the main parade due to a prior commitment.
Members of the Free Presbyterian Church held a small demonstration across the street from where Mr Varadkar was breakfasting.
He later met members of the PSNI outside the Northern Whig bar and restaurant.
The PSNI had come in forcriticism from TUV leader Jim Allister for allowing uniformed police officers to take part in what he called a “divisive parade”.
They marched along with colleagues from An Garda Siochana and were clapped by members of the public who lined the streets.
