Onlookers said he was clothed before he climbed to the top of the statue.

50ft rubber duck enjoys bath in the Thames
It was bath-time at the Thames for this giant rubber duck toy which floated down the river to the delight of bemused commuters this morning.
The rubber duck floats under Tower Bridge. Picture: Lewis Whyld/PA Wire
The 50ft toy, which weighs half a ton, set off from West India Dock at the Isle of Dogs at 8.30am and made its way past Canary Wharf before sailing underneath Tower Bridge en route to HMS Belfast.
Former EastEnders star Barbara Windsor launched the duck to publicise the Facebook FUNdation, a Jackpotjoy.com bursery that will provide grants to Brits who come up with daft ideas to encourage people to have more fun.
The actress, who is patron of the website’s FUNdation, said: “We thought a giant rubber duck floating down the River Thames was a great way to kick the FUNdation off, and it definitely raised a smile and a chuckle from everyone who saw it.
“After the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Pageant, the floating Olympic rings and David Beckham jetting into the Olympic opening ceremony, the Thames really has seen it all this year.
“The giant duck was a perfect way to round it all off and it certainly cheered everyone up.”

Blonde becomes internet celebrity after posting dress on eBay without realizing she was also in the picture - NAKED from the waist down
A woman who listed her dress on eBay has become an instant celebrity after accidentally including a naked view of herself in the website listing.
The blonde, identified only by the user ID as 'sugart*t-2' hung the mustard yellow skater dress by ASOS on her wardrobe door to photograph it for listing.
But she failed to notice her own reflection in the door mirror, camera in hand, and in just a black bra and no knickers.
Bargain-hunters spotted her at the margin of the eBay picture and it was immediately shared on Twitter with the hash tag #ebayyellowskaterdress. Within hours it had gone viral.
Embarrassed eBay managers pulled the entry before the sale ended, but an unabashed Sugart*t-2, who lives in Oxfordshire, has now relisted the dress with a similarly-posed picture - only this time it shows her - just about covered up - in a dark Nike top.
