The organisers of this year's Swindon and Wiltshire Pride celebration are already preparing for next year's event.
Hundreds of people turned out to support the Pride parade and picnic, with revellers gathering near H&M in the heart of the town centre before setting out for Queens Park.
The historic park was the venue for the Pride Picnic, and crowds braved blistering heat to enjoy music, art, fun events and stalls including those of main sponsor Nationwide, Wiltshire Police, Swindon Borough Council and a variety of vendors.
Later an after-party celebration was held at Boom Battle Bar in Regent Circus.
The organisers said in a social media message afterwards: "Some say Pride is a magical place where people go to be themselves and feel empowered. Fifty years after the first Pride march in the UK, we set out to bring an iconic Pride to Queens Park.
"Now that the flags are sadly packed away and the geese are free to roam the park once more, we’re dreaming up lots of exciting plans for next year
"Help us continue the work we do by donating today, this helps us continue the work we do and reach even more people in the LGBTQIA+ community."
