Everyone wants to be first when it comes to breaking news - but this just shows how easily it is to get something wrong. So very wrong..

30,000 people hit the streets of London over the weekend to show their support for the LGBT community.

During London's Pride Parade a CNN reporter mistakenly said that a flag was an ISIS flag but the "Arabic writing" was actually images of sex toys. 

CNN ran a news segment covering the story, where the anchor said that it was an "unnerving sight" to witness "an ISIS flag among a sea of rainbow colours".

But the black and white flag was actually mocking the terrorist group, not supporting them.

To make matters worse, the journalist Lucy Pawle, took to Twitter to deny that she had made the comments.
