AS WE ALL know, the Leaving Cert kicks off with English Paper I – and this year when students opened the exam they were met with a photo of U2′s ever-present leading man Bono.
And the Leaving Cert students then encountered one of his speeches.
It started with “My name is Bono and I am a rock star”.
Which was welcomed by some

The very fact that Bono was asking questions in the Leaving Cert was noteworthy
There were plenty who were only delighted to see the U2 frontman
Go on, Bono
Here are some scenes from the day:
