Worthington, UK Mayor Noel Atkins learned the art of crowd-surfing recently at a local christian rock music festival, and did so in a suit and mayoral chains at that.

Noel Atkins was speaking to the crowd at the music fest when he decided to attempt to crowd-surf in his full mayoral outfit. The crowd was happy to help the mayor through the crowd.
