Gurning?



Britain's Queen Elizabeth II watches the antics of Tommy Mattinson, the world Gurning champion, during a visit to Whitehaven, England.

Gurning is the art of making grotesque faces while sticking the head through a horse's collar.

O-kay. This is a new one on me.

I live and learn.

This is totally real. This guy is the world's gurning champion.

The Queen doesn't look amused.

At the risk of sounding superficial, have the fashion police just given up on the queen?

He's a perfectly nice looking chap when he's not doing the whole face thing.

The horses collar is imponderable.
