THE sight of a group of 10 students wearing nothing but white pants stunned residents on one of Southampton's main roads.

Residents and passers-by in Marsh Lane near Dukes Keep in Southampton city centre saw more than an eyeful - as students from appeared to be taking part in 'initiation' drinking games outside the Chantry and Deanery, Solent University student halls.

One resident nearby, who saw the incident, said: “I was just making my tea when I could hear shouting outside, I quickly popped out to take a look and saw at least 15 students wearing nothing but pants doing what looked like some kind of initiation.

“The group were really loud and soon left to go down Terminus Terrace, wearing nothing but white pants.

"It was amusing at the time - but I hope it doesn't become a regular occurrence.”

The stunt happened on Wednesday night, around 8.30pm.
