The rainbow flag will fly above the Cabinet Office and Scotland Office this weekend as the first same sex weddings take place in Britain.
Ceremonies are expected in England and Wales from Saturday 29th March and throughout the weekend after the Marriage (Same Sex) Act was passed in July 2013.
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said:
“As all the same sex couples make their vows this weekend, they will be making history.
“Finally, after years of campaigning, any couple who wants to get married can get married. Together we’ve made our country a place where we celebrate love equally, gay or straight – and for that reason we should all be raising a glass.
“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.”
