Someone has set up an Instagram account which only posts photos of people with musical instruments down their trousers. We can’t tell you why.

People are putting their musical instruments down their trousers, and we’re not sure where to look.

The Instagram page, affectionately named instrumentsinmypants, asks followers to ‘please send pictures of your instruments in your pants, I think it’s hilarious’.
