Photograph taken at London Pride, Saturday 24 June 1995, showing a group of men from Champers gay bar in Swansea.

Russ Harris was part of this group attending London Pride and recalls "being fuelled by rum punch on the way to London, then joining hundreds of LGBTQ+ revellers and their supporters for a march through central London, ending at Clapham Common. The atmosphere was so positive, and the day morphed into evening. We managed to miss the minibus back to Swansea, and seven of us shared a room in a run down hotel, catching the train back the following morning…we were young!"
