Hundreds of Oxford University students descended on the city’s streets early on Sunday morning, as they drunkenly made their way home from prestigious balls.
Both Corpus Christi and Brasenose College held their annual May Balls in Oxford on Saturday, with tickets costing around £120.
With a black tie dress code, ball-goers were treated to a night filled with musical performances, pole dancing, tarot reading, silent discos and even a student-run casino.
As revellers stumbled home at 5:00am, some chose to mill around the iconic Radcliffe Camera, a baroque-style library built in the 18th century.
Men dressed in dinner suits were seen carrying home their sore-footed partners while others were forced to negotiate the cobbled streets in their heels.
The celebrations finished at 5am on Sunday morning, leaving some students looking dishevelled

The Corpus Christi May Ball was themed after Greek mythology while Brasenose opted for a cabaret theme.
Brasenose College, founded in 1509, were also celebrating 50 years of admitting women.
Ball organisers chose to mark the anniversary by inviting guests to make a donation to the Malala Fund, a charity that advocates for girls’ education.
Some students bought more expensive tickets, gaining them entry to a three-course meal paired with wine to enjoy before the ball started.
Revellers up and down the country have also making the most of the May bank holiday weekend, although many celebrations did not require black tie and floor length gowns.
