Britain's Brightest Students Go Wild To Celebrate The End Of Their Exams At Cambridge's Raucous All-Night May Ball - Some Were Even Brave Enough To Strip Off And Take A Dip In The River Cam

Cambridge University students proved they know how to throw a party as they kicked off the summer break in spectacularly drunken style at the annual May Balls.
Well-heeled revellers donned their finery as they stumbled through the historic city in sparkling gowns, towering heels and formal tuxedos before stumbling home from the black tie event in the early hours.
Even as the sun came up this morning, it was clear the students had no intention of calling it a night as they clattered home from the all-night bash, with some even stripping off to take a dip in the River Cam.


The raucous annual gathering, traditionally a celebration of the end of exams and the beginning of the summer break, gives students a chance to let their hair down - and tonight it was the turn of Trinity, Clare and and Jesus College's residents to throw a lavish party.
The largest college at Cambridge, which has spawned some 32 Nobel Prize Winners, Trinity is famed for its annual summer party which kicks off with a parade through the city streets and ends with the infamous survivors' photo.
