LEICESTER, England, June 30 (UPI) -- The lord mayor of Leicester, England, has lost so much weight his pants fell down during an educational event for schoolchildren, attendees said.
Colin Hall was at a library in Leicester to participate in a Summer Showcase organized by a network of teachers to promote a better understanding of global perspectives when, upon standing to say thanks, his beltless trousers fell down, the BBC reported Wednesday.
Students from three local schools were present to see the unveiling.
A spokesman for Hall said the mayor "offered his deepest apologies" for the letdown.
"The Lord Mayor of Leicester, Councilor Colin Hall, attended a function at a local library yesterday where he suffered an unfortunate problem with his trousers," the spokesman said. "He was not wearing a belt and the trousers came loose and fell."
