University Of Central Lancashire Students Pull Off The Most Elaborate Mannequin Challenge To Date

Just when you thought the trend was over, these guys turn it up a notch.

Toddlers, gymnasts and presidential candidates - they have all attempted the mannequin challenge.

But when hundreds of students and staff at the University of Central Lancashire decided to attempt the viral sensation at graduation, they took it to the next level.

Filmed at the Preston Guild Hall, the short video sees rows of graduating students and their proud families frozen during the ceremony.

While some soon-to-be graduates mime throwing their hats in the air, others clap or give a thumbs up.

Even the university’s academics get involved, with Vice Chancellor Mike Thomas handing one graduating student her degree while others pose in the background.
