Isle of Wight staged its first Pride on July 15 and what a fantastic event it was, embodying everything a great pride should aspire to. It is a huge responsibility to stage any public event, but the organisers of IOW Pride, just about got everything right, except they forgot to provide a dressing room for the drag queens, who took it all in their stride and encamped in the coast guards office behind the main stage.
