We all know school proms are a big deal these days, but some students have really gone all-out in recent years.
The high school prom is no longer just a rite of passage celebrated in the US. Thousands of Greater Manchester children - or more likely their parents - now splurge out on prom dresses, tuxedos and limousines.
While some are happy to splash the cash with costs reaching thousands of pounds, some students take a different, weirder approach - although definitely no less expensive. Over the years, some of the region's pupils have shunned the stretch-limos, choosing to announce their arrival more creatively.
