IT is finals week for students at the University of Oxford and – as always – they like to go out with a bang.

Tradition states students should be showered with confetti, whipped cream and glitter as they leave their last exam and it was no different for third-year student Jon Connolly, 21, of St Edmund Hall.

It is also customary for students to be presented with a bottle of bubbly in order to celebrate the completion of three years of hard work.
