Hand holding at no.10
03 Apr 2010
In February 2010, A Day In Hand was invited to 10 Downing Street for LGBT History Month. Both Mr. Brown and Harriet Harman reiterated their support for the successful month and assured the UK's LGBT communities that they would never walk the road alone in the journey to full equality.

After they left, Sarah Brown stayed and talked to guests for the
remainder of the evening. Elly Barnes, David Watkins, Tony Fenwick and
Sue Sanders, members of the History Month organising committee, were
seen busily chatting to people and encouraging support and patronage. David
talked to Sarah Brown about A Day In Hand campaign (hoping for a Twitter mention
soon). Apparently she already held hands with Naomi Campbell, but
couldn't resist asking her for a more recent Sshh pic. She's getting
back to me. You can see more of these picture on the the Number 10
Flickr site for this event or the LGBT
HM Flickr site. Whilst there I also met James Parks and his
partner (the police officer involved in a brutal homophobic attack
in Oct. There was also a strong LGBT Armed Forces presence at the
reception (see below).
