It’s Rag Day at Queen’s University and the students are taking an unorthodox and somewhat dangerous approach to fundraising. The Rag Parade is a boisterous affair as it moves through Donegell Square. One student is sailing down the Lagan in a boat made from a coffin. Well, it makes a change from a bubble. 

University RAGs are student-run charitable fundraising organisations that are widespread in the United Kingdom and Ireland.  Queen’s University Rag is one of the oldest and produces, PTQ, an annual magazine of jokes. PTQ comes from the motto for Belfast city, Pro Tanto Quid Retribuamus.
