How to... Stage a duck race

Fundraising fun race shows exactly how to get your ducks in a row. Last one is a rotten egg.

GREAT WEATHER FOR ducks, innit? Especially on the Liffey yesterday where nearly 1,000 plastic ducks took to the river for a Niall Mellon Township fundraising event.

Judging by photographer Stephen Kilkenny’s smooth step-by-step photographs, this should remain the template for plastic duck races the world over. (Although the organisers’ email says that duck No.666 won it. Yikes.)

This is how to stage a ducking great fun race:
