A number of Drag Race stars and friends of the late drag queen Heklina took to the streets of London to protest against what they say is the Met Police’s mishandling of the investigation into the performer’s death.

Following last month’s announcement of a planned protest, yesterday over one hundred people marched from Big Ben to New Scotland Yard to protest for justice for the drag queen who was found dead in her apartment in London in 2023.

Among those who marched were Drag Race stars Cheddar Gorgeous and Crystal, former Scissor Sisters vocalist Ana Matronic, and Heklina’s close friend Peaches Christ who discovered her body in 2023. Other prominent drag artists were also involved, including Afrika America, Chiyo and Trixie Carr.
