Unfortunately I did not manage to get up early enough to get to the Traditional May Day service at Magdalen Bridge, reports from the Oxford Mail this morning say that over 18000 people attended. It was about 6.30 when I managed to get into the centre of Oxford with most of the pubs in town already in the full swing of cooking Breakfasts for all those revellors returning from Magdalen Bridge. At Oxford's oldest pub, The Bear which is always open early for May Day customers where enjoying a liquid breakfasts from 6am. John Otway launched his new book this morning at the pub, which I am sure help pull a few more punters in to the celebrations.

I was there once for this back in the 1980s when I had a friend living in Oxford. I remember it as being a lot of fun!
