Commuters' bare-faced cheek defies winter cold
Partici-pants: Londoners on the Tube brave the cold to take part
12 April 2012
Has no one told these ladies it's freezing outside?
Today commuters all over the world solemnly observed the date in the calendar when they travel to work in their underwear.
Annual Pants Off Subway Ride in New York, where the movement started, has now reached London.
But in London the name of the event has been translated - to avoid potentially embarrassing confusion - to No Trousers on the Tube.
It meant Y-front wearers had more than one reason to heed advice to "mind the gap" today.
Commuters in 44 cities in 16 countries were participating with about 3,000 estimated to be going "bottom-less" in New York.
American organisers, the Improv Everywhere troupe, said the aim was to bring "scenes of chaos and joy to public places".
