After the parade took us to the Pride festival site, we donned our pickers and set about looking for treasure. A lot of colourful non-natural feathers were about, plenty of ciggie ends and a bunch of very helpful people who used our litter bags as bins rather than leaving it for us to grab. One unfortunate ice cream cone had made it's match with the floor and a few stickers that even the pickers struggled to relinquish from the grass! But with full bags, an enjoyment of the entertainment and a look around the stalls made for a pleasant task in the basking sunshine.

6 Goodgymers danced, clapped and marshalled their ways along the Portsmouth Pride Parade. We wore our rainbows and envied the tassled high viz whilst ensuring the public didn't get run over by drag queens or mown down by marching drummers. The parade was fabulous as always and goodgym love was felt by all.

We all had so much fun marshaling the Portsmouth Gay Pride Parade! The sun was shining 🌞Approximately 1000 people walked the parade, lead by Portsmouth Batala. So lovely to organisations and the community all participating.

Katie and Abby were the designated lollipop ladies. Only one person swore at them.

The rest of is made sure the parade stayed on route.

More photos to come!
