Merriment in Manchester

A newsreel camera captures Manchester students' raucous behaviour during rag week, on full display to benefit local hospitals.

Topical Budget's newsreel cameraman successfully captured the fun spirit of this charity event and its cheeky participants. Rag stands for "Raise and Give" and everyone's charity boxes arehighly visible. The week involves a celebration of noisy disorderly conduct that defies authority, eloquently shown here in the "Ring-a-ring o' roses" around a policeman. Watch out for the Tyranicalsaurus!
