Just 17 amazing photos from the Trinity Ball over the last 30 years

Beautiful in its own way.

TONIGHT’S THE NIGHT of the 2017 Trinity Ball.

And, just like the Leaving Cert results night, it’s a time-honoured tradition that press photographers are there to document the action.

All the action.

1. Like everyone having a good lie down on the grass in 2002
