Tourists walking around London today might be in for a shock as more than 1,000 cyclists will ride around the capital naked today.

The World Naked Bike Ride is being held in London today after gracing the city every year since 2004.

The event has faced calls to be banned but organisers and participants insist it is a peaceful, legal public protest with a serious focus.
