With thousands of teenagers across the region due to receive their GCSE grades tomorrow, an age-old issue has reared its head again: should they jump with joy for the cameras?
For some, the tone was set by former prime minister Margaret Thatcher, who resolutely refused to 'stand up and make a jump up in the air' during an interview for Swedish TV in 1995.
Lady Thatcher told interviewer Stina Lundberg Dabrowski: 'I shouldn't dream of doing that'.
When told that former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev had performed a jump, Lady Thatcher responded: 'You amaze me.'
The issue arose again during last week's A-level results celebrations, when some people on Twitter asked for photographers to find alternative ways of photographing students who had received good news.
Steve Skipper tweeted: 'I wish photographers would find a more original way of shooting a small group of elated teenagers.'
However, one EDP photographer who told students she wanted to take a different type of photo was told that they wanted the traditional 'jump' image, and some schools who submitted their own photographs from results day included those with students mid-air.
Teacher Colin Goffin tweeted: 'it's a rite of passage!'
