Picture shows Cambridge University students at the Trinity May Ball on Monday evening June 13th 2016. Rich Cambridge University students braved the rain to attend the 150th Trinity May Ball last night (Mon) - for which tickets cost more than £500 a couple. Around 1800 undergraduates dressed in elegant ball gowns and tuxedos for the lavish end-of-term party, which ended with a spectacular fireworks display. The sold-out ball is the largest event of the Cambridge student social calendar and some students queued for three hours to get into the party yesterday evening. Many huddled under umbrellas, which some even co-ordinated to match their dresses, whilst others wore top hats and tails. Guests were treated to a posh five-course meal served in Trinity Great Hall, then students could tuck in to oysters, a hog roast and a chocolate fountain, while drinks were served from a floating punt on the river. They were then treated to entertainment from comedians, as well as a casino and jazz tent before sitting in punts on the historic Backs to watch the fireworks light up the skies around midnight. Some then continued partying overnight with drunken punt rides on the River Cam and a champagne breakfast in the college gardens.
