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?

That was not art. It was Justin.

I'm tryin' I'm tryin'

My puns are actually pretty clever in French....I'm just not quite there yet in English. I'm actually happy if I can pull out a joke that makes sense.

We've had a lot of nude news here.

What does that say about the state of the world today?

I live in Trafalgar Square... four lions to guard me...

Everyone sing!!!
