It's been a strange year. Then again, strange things happen all the time - as we found when looking through our archives this week.

Our favourite story from 2019 has to be when drivers were left doing a double take when they spotted a naked man on St Peter's Bridge, in the Stapenhill area of the town.

Motorists could hardly believe their eyes as they spotted the man in buff - doing lunges on a bridge next to one of the town's busiest roads.

Those left blushing included people waiting at a bus stop - but it didn't seem to put the man off from his exercising.

The incident happened in broad daylight in September and one resident, who was waiting for a bus near the bridge, said it was "the most bizarre thing they had ever seen".

The 30-year-old witness, who did not wish to be named, said: "I didn't know what to think. It was the most bizarre thing I have ever seen. He was there for a good couple of minutes just doing squats (lunges) on the bridge.

"There were lots of people looking on in complete shock, including a double decker bus full of people."

Mystery still surrounds the man's identity as he was never caught by police despite a media appeal.

Will he do it again this September? We'll have to wait and see.
