Cambridge students poked fun at the Brexit battle bus during the 'Suicide Sunday' cardboard boat race as they celebrate the end of exams.

Witty undergraduates painted their cardboard creation red and wrote 'we send the EU £350mil, let's fund out NHS' and 'boat leave' on the side. Another boat was labelled 'daddy's yacht'.

The students spent the morning making their rafts with cardboard, glue and Gaffa tape, then clambered inside and attempted to float them down the river.  

Around 2,000 undergraduates lined the historic Backs in the city centre to watch 20 teams cause chaos in the 10th year of the unusual race.
