Mayor apologises after trousers fall off
Hall suffers wardrobe malfunction in front of schoolchildren
London: The newly elected lord mayor of Leicester was forced to apologise after suffering a wardrobe malfunction which onlookers described as "something out of a Carry On film".
As he stood up in front of a room full of schoolchildren to thank the organisers of an educational summer show, Colin Hall felt an unfamiliar draft as his trousers came loose and slipped down around his ankles.
Hall, 46, suffered the embarrassing mishap on a visit to Southfields library in Leicester.
He said: "Whilst giving a vote of thanks, I suffered a problem with my trousers. Unfortunately, I had chosen not to wear a belt and the trousers came loose and fell. I would like to offer my deepest apologies to anyone who was offended by the accident."
