Passengers strip to their pants for a ride on the tube

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 10th 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 before jumping on another train.

Other groups set off for London landmarks, including Parliament.

One of the organisers, Farhan Rasheed, said there was not really an aim to the event, it was just a bit of fun.
