A complaint has been lodged after a man stood naked on a Trafalgar Square plinth as part of the ongoing One and Other art installation.
Justin Holwell stripped and posed naked on the fourth plinth during his one-hour slot from 1400 BST on Sunday.
Ex-detective Mark Williams-Thomas said his wife and children were "annoyed and upset". He complained to police but Mr Holwell was not taken off the plinth.
A police spokesman said it was not a crime to appear naked in public.

Nudity and art, I've been wondering where lies the border between the two. When is nudity acceptable in your opinion, when is nudity art?
