Tutti Day is an old tradition linked to marking the end of the financial year. Hungerford in Berkshire is the only place in the UK where people still dress up for the occasion.
On the second Tuesday after Easter 'Tutti Men' would visit each household and collect a 'head penny' from each person. Nowadays the 'Tutti men' just collect a kiss. Here's Penny Silvester's report from Tutti Day 2011.
Two 'Tutti Men' in the Berkshire market town of Hungerford will be collecting kisses today from each lady of the houses they visit for Tutti Day today.
It is thought the celebration dates back to medieval times when 'Tutti men' would collect the 'head penny' from each householder on the second Tuesday after Easter. The tradition of dressing up and visiting around 100 properties with 'common rights' is linked to the end of the financial year.
