Hundreds of thousands attend Pride events in UK and mainland Europe after deadly Berlin attack

Pride celebrations in Berlin continued despite a recent terrorist attack during a previous event. One person was killed and 29 injured in the van attack at a previous Pride gathering. In Bavaria, brass musicians attempted to break a world record by performing a 72-hour live concert in St. Jacob's church. The event featured around 140 bands, with musicians rotating every 90 minutes to avoid interruptions.

Bavaria's premier, Markus Söder, supported the musicians, praising their enthusiasm. In Germany's railway company, Deutsche Bahn, CEO Evelyn Palla criticized the existing decision-making process as unaccountable and inefficient, suggesting substantial improvements would come with managerial changes.
