KICKING off your stag do dressed in drag at a busy crossroads might not be everyone’s to-do list as they say sayonara to bachelorhood.

But as with so many grooms to-be, what was on David Robins’ stag to-do list wasn’t necessarily up to him.

Starting at around 10.15am yesterday, he spent the first hour of his stag weekend in a flattering wedding dress, serenaded by appreciative honks at the Swannery Junction at the end of King Street in Weymouth.

With signs encouraging drivers to honk if they liked his dress strapped to the traffic lights of the junction, and balloons tied to the railings, Mr Robins couldn’t be missed and triggered a cacophony of beeping.

Mr Robins said: “My best men, Alan Hodges and Aid Burton, set this up because it’s quite funny and they know I’m up for a laugh. There has been quite a good response, lots of honks from drivers.

“I’ve learnt police cars don’t have a sense of humour.

“I’m expecting a weekend of general malarkey and shenanigans.”

After Mr Robins had been left to enjoy his moment in the limelight, a minibus full of his friends, also dressed in flamboyant drag, arrived to whisk him away on a weekend in Bognor Regis. They left him to stew at the lights around half an hour longer than he had expected, turning up shortly before 11am.

The 11-strong group of friends went off to enjoy an 1980s-themed holiday in the West Sussex hotspot, with Mr Robins dressing up as presenter Timmy Mallett.

Mr Robins grew up in Weymouth, as did many of his friends on the stag do.

Very soon he will be marrying his fiancée Virginia Mason who he has been seeing for a year-and-a-half.

Miss Mason said: “Some of the group have been friends since school and they are constantly stitching each other up like this.

“They go to Glastonbury together and do this sort of thing – they enjoy it a bit too much perhaps.

“It was me that got his dress and his veil.”

Mr Robins added: “I would imagine that there will be something else, something worse than this in the pipeline for the weekend knowing my friends.”
