QUIRKY WORLD ... Stripping off helps Hull gets to bottom of the sea

Britain: Thousands of people have stripped and been painted blue as they starred in a huge installation to celebrate Hull’s relationship with the sea.

Hull City Council said 3,200 people took part in the event — the largest of its kind ever to be staged in the UK by New York-based artist Spencer Tunick.

Tunick’s Sea of Hull installation involved participants from 20 countries, including American Stephane Janssen, 80, who has posed for him on 20 previous occasions.
