MORE than 200 naturists bared all for a jubilee celebration.

Members of British Naturism held their annual rally at a secret spot near Throckley, Newcastle, on Saturday.

They adopted the customary union flags and bunting, dispensing only with clothes at the gathering.

Pat Thompson, president of British Naturism, said she was sure the Queen would have approved, despite her shock when confronted by streaker Brynn Reed in Newcastle.

She said: "The Queen said she wanted people from all backgrounds and walks of life to celebrate her golden jubilee, and that was what we were doing.

"The only difference from everyone else's parties was that we were wearing no clothes."

Naturist Mike Beddige said: "People came from across England and Scotland.

"We have sent the Queen a letter of congratulations."
