Perhaps unsurprisingly, the loco has apparently suffered some damage:

The extent of the damage is not reported and possibly not yet fully assessed. Interesting that it was taken to Williton, WSR for assessment instead of returning to Swanage - maybe there was a possiblity of the loco being undamaged & could have then run at the gala.
In the end, 6695 didn't run at the gala - 5643 was drafted in from Ribble Steam Railway as a late replacement.
