Fans pack out ExCel London for RuPaul’s DragCon

Hordes of fans headed to ExCel London at the weekend to celebrate RuPaul’s DragCon.

The event kicked off on Friday as thousands descended on the venue in Newham to see the stars of RuPaul’s famous franchise.

The three-day celebration of queer culture and drag involved more than 100 queens from the television’s ‘Drag Race‘ franchise, including the likes of Pangina Heals, Lemon, and Mo Heart.

As part of the convention, drag queens also got the chance to strut their stuff down the legendary pink carpet.

RuPaul also spoke at the event and performed a DJ set for lucky fans.

Also in attendance was Strictly Come Dancing judge, Michelle Visage who was spotted wearing a Greggs jumper and jogging bottoms.

Visage has been a permanent judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race since 2019.

Other RuPaul Drag Race stars at the event were Angeria Paris VanMichaels, Baga Chipz, and Charity Kase.
