The ride of their lives

Halima Miah, 16, arrives in a Ferrari for a parade of "supercars" at Swanlea School graduation day in Tower Hamlets, east London July 2, 2013. In the east London area of Tower Hamlets, one of the most deprived parts of the city according to government statistics, a trend has arisen which sees many 16-year-olds at local schools spending large sums of money to rent increasingly flashy cars for their National Record of Achievement (NRA) ceremony, an event roughly equivalent to a prom celebration. The teens, who are too young to drive, are chauffeured around the neighbourhood and attend the ceremony at school, often before spending a night on the town. Picture taken July 2, 2013.
