Where do you put your ticket on no trousers day?

-

HUNDREDS of people have stripped off their trousers to take a half-naked trip on the London Undergroun­d.

Crowds met outside the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square for the tenth annual No Trousers Tube Ride before heading undergroun­d where they boarded trains on different Tube lines across the capital.

More than 100 people piled on to the Piccadilly Line, where they struggled to remove their trousers due to the large crowds.

Regular Sunday passengers were left bewildered as men and women sat in their brightly-coloured underwear talking or reading, or taking pictures of each other.

After changing to the Jubilee Line at Green Park, the group got off at Canary Wharf to do some aerobics on the platform before jumping on another train.

Other groups set off for London landmarks, including one heading to Parliament.

Sisters Tessa and Matilda Deterding said they had come for the first time because they liked the idea behind it.

Tessa, 24, from London, said: “We read about it and thought it sounded hilarious. I wasn’t nervous about it. I quite like the sentiment behind it, instead of a stiff upper lip it’s having a bit of a laugh.” Matilda, 22, added: “I did especially pick out my pants, you have got to pick out a nice opaque one. You don’t want to give too much of a spectacle.”
