Run the World (Sport Aid), Gus Honeybun and a day in the park - 1986 and 1987
As a follow-on to Live Aid, there was a national event set up called Sport Aid, which was run by over 20 million people on May 25th 1986. One of the events was a great run - the length of which I cannot remember - around Plymouth, part of "Run the World" (the lyrics of Tears for Fears' single "(Everybody wants to) Rule the World" were changed accordingly). Quite a few of my mates were in this, although Nosher, never having quite recovered from cross-country at school, did not run.

Gus on the bus. Gus (or Augustus J. Honeybun) was a bit of a student cult, and so was a popular guest at student functions |
Gus takes to the streets. This is looking down Royal Parade towards Derry's Cross and the Theatre Royal |
At some posh function later, Gus with another handler (I think this was an actual TSW presenter of the time) and Ian Dunwoody |

...and with a Groucho moustache... |
...and, if I recall, dressed up as a sperm. |

A bunch of students mill past the main hall on the way to North Hill - it may have been a post-exam escape... |
