Organisers of the Paris Pride March have moved Saturday's event to September after the police ordered it to be called off because of the heatwave that has stretched emergency services and hospitals in the French capital or face being banned.
The annual event usually draws tens of thousands of people to the city's streets. Organizers announced the rescheduling on social media on Friday.
Police issued the same order to the Solidays music festival and an athletics meeting at Stade Charlety.
