  • The Out and Proud Diamond Group and the Peter Tatchell Foundation support the international boycott of Dolce and Gabbana and lead a protest outside their flagship London store, 6-8 Old Bond Street, London 19 March 2015. The protest is in response to the fashion designers ‘insulting slurs’ against same-sex parents and their children. Speaking to the Italian magazine Panorama, alongside his business partner, Stefano Gabbana, Domenico Dolce said children should be born to a mother and a father: “The only family is a traditional one. I’m not convinced by those I call the chemical children, synthetic babies...They are wombs for hire, semen chosen from a catalogue ... psychiatrists are not ready to confront the effects of this experimentation.” Stefano Gabbana added: “The family is not a fad.” In 2006, he told the Daily Mail: "I am opposed to the idea of a child growing up with two gay parents."

  • Black Paintings by Alex Katz – an exhibition of new large-scale paintings at the Timothy Taylor Gallery, Mayfair. Katz’s paintings are at once figurative and abstract – his larger-than-life portraits and landscapes often looming large over their observers. However, in these new works, rather than filling each frame, the subjects are assigned to the margins with black space occupying most of each canvas. Katz has been the subject of over 200 solo exhibitions and nearly 500 group shows internationally since 1951, and has been honoured with numerous retrospectives including The Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, USA; Tate St. Ives, UK; Turner Contemporary, Margate, UK; and The Guggenheim, Bilbao, Spain.

  • Freemen of the City of London exercise their right to drive sheep across London Bridge –  organised by the Worshipful Company of Woolmen, it is one of London’s ancient traditions, dating back more than 800 years.  This year it was attended by Shaun the Sheep, ahead of the ‘Shaun in the City’ arts trail coming to London in spring 2015.  The event aims not only to put the spotlight on British lamb and wool but also to raise funds for the Lord Mayor’s Appeal. Last year’s event raised more than £40,000, part of the £43 million raised for charity by the 110 City of London Livery Companies last year. This year’s event involved more than 600 freemen drawn from the City’s 110 Livery Companies and twenty sheep, provided for the event by a farmer from Bedfordshire, with only ten at a time driven across the bridge. 05 Oct 2014.
