LONDON, May 7 — A male streaker gave Britain's Queen Elizabeth a revealing surprise during a visit to the northern English town of Gateshead on Tuesday when he ran naked in front of her black limousine.

The man, wearing only a pair of running shoes, faced jeers from crowds of royalists who had lined the streets to greet the 76-year-old monarch, celebrating 50 years on the throne this year.
Four burly police officers wrestled the man to the ground, and sat on him while the royal procession passed.
One grey-haired woman, bedecked in Union Jack scarf and plastic hat, emerged from the crowd to express her anger at the sign of disrespect.
Newcastle police said they had arrested a 27-year-old man and that he was being questioned.
