A North-East woman will join hundreds of animal rights campaigners racing naked through the streets of a Spanish city

The protestors are staging the Running Of The Nudes ahead of Pamplona's annual bull run.

Diane Sanderson, of Newcastle, will join about 300 others baring all to expose the issue of animal cruelty.

The 35-year-old will run through the cobbled streets of Pamplona wearing nothing but a red scarf and plastic horns in the human stampede on Monday, July 5.

Care worker Diane said: "The Running of the Bulls is tourist driven, yet most visitors haven't a clue about the cruelty the bulls are subjected to before, during and after the run."

Authorities in Barcelona banned bullfighting after complaints from animal rights activists.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals campaigners have written to the Mayor of Pamplona asking for the Running of the Bulls to be replaced with the nude Human Race.

Diane has previously joined protests at a former mink farm near Ponteland.
