The Day in Photos – May 9, 2018

Performers take part in the Hal-an-Tow dance as they celebrate Helston Flora Day on May 8, 2018 in Cornwall, England. The annual Flora Dance, also known as the Furry Dance, is one of the UK's oldest customs still practised today and is said to be a celebration of the passing of Winter and the arrival of Spring. A series of dances as well as a Hal-an-Tow pageant take place throughout the day, beginning at 7am all over the Cornish town and even in and out of private houses and shops. However the highlight is the midday dance which was traditionally the dance of the gentry in the town and is why men still wear top hats and tails while the women dance in their finest dresses.(Photo by Matt Cardy/Getty Images)
