Communities Secretary Eric Pickles and Communities Minister Baroness Stowell have raised the rainbow flag outside the Department for Communities and Local Government in Westminster to mark Saturday’s historic arrival of equal marriage in England and Wales.
The two Conservatives ministers looked especially smart for the occasion as they posed for a photograph on Friday.
Mr Clegg said: “Raising the rainbow flag on Whitehall is a small symbol to celebrate a massive achievement. I want to wish everyone getting married this weekend the very best of luck, on what is a truly momentous occasion.”
