Dad does a 'Brucie' on London plinth
Father-of-two Mike Keane pulled a Bruce Forsyth pose when he took to the vacant fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square on Sunday.
The 46-year-old IT manager from Brimscombe near Stroud, performed the move as part of a silent disco.

Dressed in a horned helmet, angel wings and a 'man skirt', Brimscombe resident Mike treated the crowds to an hour-long display of dancing on afternoon.
One of his moves was to replicate the famous pose struck by television legend Bruce on TV hits such as the Generation Game and Strictly Come Dancing.
"It's a craze that has hit Facebook called Brucing all over the world," said Mike. "I thought while I am dancing away on the plinth I would do a Bruce."
Mike, who has two teenage boys, conducted the silent disco listening to a set of pre-recorded dance music on his MP3 player.
After overcoming the initial nerves, Mike said the experience was one to remember.
"It was amazing, really nerve wracking at first as there were loads of people in the square," he said.
"For the first 15-minutes I was thinking what am I doing. However, everyone was smiling at me and laughing and I started to enjoy it."
The idea to have a living monument was the brainchild of sculptor Antony Gormley, the creator of the Angel of the North.
Any person can apply to have an hour-long stint on the plinth.
While some people have used their hour to promote political or moral campaigns, Mike just wanted to have some fun.
"I didn't want to do anything political or arty and I like to go dancing and clubbing so I though I would just do that," he said.
