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

About the photograph.

This is the finishing point of the Pride parade route, on the A4161 called Kingsway (in Welsh language: Ffordd Y Brenin).

The man on the left side of the photo, wearing dark T-shirt and checked shorts, seen holding a tray, is a member of the Aldi supermarket staff. He is seen offering samples, maybe sweets to those taking part in the parade.

Some of the Aldi staff were also giving out free water bottles to anyone needing one, as it was a very hot day, and a long march.

It was shot in colour, I converted it into black and white during Adobe Lightroom.

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.
