St Mary Street, Cardiff (Caerdydd), Wales (Cymru), United Kingdom, on Saturday 17th of June 2023.
About the photograph.
This photo was taken somewhere outside of The Alchemist, and Flight Club bars. (Note in the background on the right side of the photo, you may make out the Greggs bakery.
This section of people taking part in the parade are police staff, or in Welsh language Heddlu.
Among with them is someone wearing a red dragon mascot outfit, with a flag in the mouth. Notice the guy in the T-shirt looking back, he is likely to be making sure the mascot guy is doing fine.
The Pride parade was about one mile in length, and for those who were taking part, it would take them about an hour from the starting point to the finishing point. But as I keep going back and forth along the parade looking for any interesting shots, it took me like about a couple of hours, and I ended up with sunburn.
It was my second time doing a Pride parade photojournalism, as I had done the Bristol Pride in the year before that, which was also a very hot sunny day too.
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.
