‘Swiss Tony’ congratulates winning team after event at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium
TV star Charlie Higson joined Islington students at a quick-fire University Challenge style quiz.
The event, at Aresnal’s Emirates Stadium, in Drayton Park, Holloway, on Febraury 12, saw teams from schools, colleges and youth with their hands on the buzzer.
Young Consumers, organised by Islington Council’s Trading Standards team and supported by Arsenal in the Community, tested 14 to 17-year-olds about their shopping rights, how to look after their money and their environment and how to be a responsible citizen.
A nail-biting contest ended with students from Central Foundation beating the Police Cadets on the very last buzzer question to take the trophy.
