Description

Queen’s University students parade through Belfast city centre on Rag Day to raise money for the charities they support. Boisterous scenes ensue and there seems to be a vague Roman theme. The crowning of the Rag King & Queen follows. 

Notes

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

Credits

An Ulster Television Production.
