Queen Street, Cardiff (Caerdydd), Wales (Cymru), United Kingdom, on Saturday 17th of June 2023.

About the photograph.

I was at Queen Street, very near the Kingdom of Sweets shop and the Chopstix restaurant (noticeable in the background of the photo), doing the photojournalism of the Pride parade as they marched past me.

This crossdresser spotted me taking the photographs, and decided to do some posing for the camera.

The other crossdresser is holding the flag of Wales, known in Welsh language as Baner Cymru or Y Ddraig Goch. The dragon on the flag is normally red, however the flag the crossdresser is carrying seems to be modified for the Pride, as the dragon looks like it is in pink.

At that stage of the parade, they need to go around one more block before reaching the end of the parade.

About the event.

Pride Cymru was previously called Cardiff Mardi Gras when it was formed in September 1999. It held annual festival in Bute Park. It became a registered charity in 2010, and starting from 2012, they held a parade through the city centre.

In 2014, Cardiff Mardi Gras was renamed to Pride Cymru, and had operated under the new name ever since the change of name.

Pride Cymru is in reality a weekend event, often called Pride Cymru Big Weekend, and attracts up to 50,000 people over the three days, with Saturdays having the parade through the city centre.

The route for the parade is approximately about more or less one mile in length, and would take anyone approximately up to an hour to complete the route.

Because I was doing photojournalism, trying to find interesting shots, therefore I often sometimes walk back and forth, up and down the parade, so it would take me about a couple of hours to do the photo-shoot.

That day was a very hot and strong sunny day, and I some sunburn.
