The fool makes his way through a large crowd to get into the last pub before the start of the 2016 Haxey Hood. Held annually in the small village of Haxey in North Lincolnshire, the 'Hood' resembles a large rugby scrum. Hundreds of people take part in attempting to push a leather tube to one of four pubs where it remains until the following year's game.
