Cambridge students celebrate end of exams at infamous May Ball

Well-heeled students donned their finery as they stumbled through Cambridge in sparkling gowns, towering heels and formal tuxedos as they celebrated the end of their exams with the university's famous May Ball. Guests, who paid at least £345 for a sought-after double ticket to Monday's event, had the option of a lavish five-course feast with wine pairings or a champagne reception. They enjoyed a stunning fireworks display followed by a night of entertainment ranging from comedians to classical and jazz music. Some relaxed on punts on the River Cam after the music stopped (shown bottom row, middle), while others made their way home as the sun rose (pictured top row). In years gone by, some of Britain's brightest students have engaged in hedonistic behaviour, stripping off and jumping in the river, but this year more sipped from bottles of water than alcoholic drinks as they left the college.
