" We saw This Time last week an attack in Oslo just hours before that parade, where Two People lost their lives and More Than 20 were injured, " the Labour mayor said.
" So, we've got to be conscious of the fact that there's still a danger to this community of discrimination, bias and violence. But allies Like Me are really important to support this community, " he added.
" We're marching today for an open, inclusive accepting world. We're marching today for those in Oslo, for those who haven't made the progress we've made.
" We're also marching today for love. In this great city we should be a beacon of inclusiveness, of openness, but also a place where you can be free to be who you want to be and free To Love who you want To Love . "
