When the sun's out, many of us can't wait to get our bodies out and get a tan.
And for some, it's very important to avoid strap marks, so sunbathing naked in the privacy of their own garden might sound appealing.
But did you know you could be in trouble for doing just that - if it causes offence.
The law says it is not an offence to be naked in public. But it can become an offence if being so causes distress or alarm to others.
Police are advising those who do want an all-over tan to be ‘discreet’ about their sunbathing habits.
“Under the Sexual Offences Act 2003, it is not an offence for a person to appear naked in public but it becomes an offence if it can be proved that the person stripped off with the intention to cause distress, alarm or outrage.”
