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.

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

The horses collar is imponderable.
