THE Sun reportedly has ended its infamous Page 3 topless pictures after two years of pressure from feminist campaigners, insiders revealed yesterday.

According to fellow News UK paper the Times, the last “Page 3 girl” was featured on Friday and, despite awaiting official confirmation, commentators seem to believe the topless photos are gone for good.

No More Page 3 founder Lucy-Anne Holmes said that the move was a “step in the right direction” but that much was still to be done.

“I’m not going to stand here and say: ‘There’s going to now be women in underwear on Page 3 and isn’t that great’.”

Ms Holmes pointed out that The Sun could have covered underreported women’s sport on the page instead.

“The Sun hasn’t suddenly decided that women say, think and do interesting and incredible things, it’s still basically saying women are here for decoration, but it’s a step in the right direction,” she said.

Following the news of the end of Page 3, hundreds of women’s organisations including Object, Girl Guiding, Mumsnet and Woman Up! shared their glee and congratulations with the campaign.

Yet to many feminist activists the issue will not have been fully resolved until the Sun stops publishing -pictures that objectify women, with or without their consent. 

The old posed shoots on Page 3 seem to have been replaced with paparazzi pictures of celebrities on the beach.

Insiders also revealed that if the Sun’s sales declined after the introduction of the new -policy, the fully unreserved Page 3 might see a comeback.
