These sweet little gestures really can make all the difference - this beautiful bunny was found in after attending a medical appointment with a relative, recently.
Such a lovely idea. Kindness counts.
With thanks to Sam L (whoever you are) 🥰

What a wonderful way to honour the memory of James Lee Williams, aka drag artist extraordinaire The Vivienne, here in Milton Keynes.

The Vivienne was 'a global drag icon, a fearless performer, and a defining figure in contemporary q***r culture,' and visitors to see one of her incredible costumes will be reminded just how much more Williams delivered, from international tours to prime theatre roles.

The outfit is on display in the Sky Bar at Hotel La Tour Milton Keynes overlooking Campbell Park where it will remain until after this year's MK Pride Festival.
The all inclusive and accessible festival that The Vivienne once closed, returns on September 13.

The dress will remain in situ until September 14.
