A couple of clowns wait before the celebrations of Peruvian Clown Day in Lima, Peru, Friday, May 25, 2018. Hundreds of professional clowns gather annually on this date to honor the late and beloved "Tony Perejil", who died on May 25, 1987, after spending years bed-ridden in a hospital. He was known as the Clown of the Poor because he would perform in impoverished neighborhoods to which he would donate a portion of his proceeds to improve the communities' infrastructures.
