An Axbridge actress joined other naked protestors in London in a campaign against soldiers' hats.

Rebecca Jameson was part of a 100-strong protest against using Black Bears to make the signature caps of the Queen's Guard outside St Paul's Cathedral on Sunday.

The yoga-practising actress stripped off with others and covered herself in fake blood to highlight the fur free message from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), six days before the Queen's birthday parade.

Rebecca said: "I'll gladly bare my skin if it will help save bears' skins.

"As the Queen celebrates her birthday in royal style, many black bears won't live to see another birthday."

The campaign group believes the bears can take several shots to kill and that some escape only to later bleed to death.

The group is urging the Ministry of Defence to switch hat production to a synthetic material.
