IF YOU ARE around Dublin tonight, or indeed tomorrow morning, you may notice some unusual goings on.  Bright eyed students, dressed in their finest finery will be shivering their way around the place, because tonight is Trinity’s Ball.

Never mind that it still feels like Winter, according to Ireland’s premiere University, term time is over and our future leaders must celebrate!

But what will they get up to?

We’ve looked back on the photographic evidence of the event over the years, and this is what we’ve found.

Hijinks

Oh there’ll be lots of messing.

Kissing

Nothing like a ball to stimulate some romance.

Having an upset stomach

Probably due to too much jelly and ice cream.

Sleeping

People appear to get very tired at this event.

All told, it looks like a bit of a difficult night, but then maybe we're just too old for it.

Fancy a watch of the Late Late anyone?
