Castleton, UK

 




John Turner, the ‘king’ of Castleton Garland Day, covered to the waist in a heavy, bell-shaped floral garland, parades through the village.  The date of the custom coincides with Oak Apple Day which is believed to commemorate the restoration of King Charles II in 1660.  Photograph:  Oli Scarff/AFP/Getty Images
