The flag flies proudly
Plenty of spit and polish on this hotel. The original hotel was the Kings Arms (now known simply as the Kings) and the owner was a John Godwin in the 1830s; he was a miller and had a windmill at the rear of the building. Later the lease refers to all sorts of comestibles and stables on offer here. Following the raising of cash with a £1,000 mortgage it was extensively rebuilt in 1867; latterly it has been refurbished twice this century.

The Gay Pride 'Celebrating Freedom' parade and festival is an annual event. This is its 10th iteration. One of the participants is resplendent in their party frock. I am advised that it takes years of practice to walk far in high heeled shoes.

Swindon and Wiltshire Pride 2017, Wood Street, Swindon
The Gay Pride 'Celebrating Freedom' parade and festival is an annual event. This is its 10th iteration. A salsa band precedes, inter alia, a Roman legionnaire. It took a while for me to make the connection between the event and the soldier. It's a fascinating tale https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2005/oct/28/theatre
