Women throw their bras up in the air on the Parvis des Droits de l'Homme (Human Rights Esplanade) at the Trocadero in Paris yesterday, as they take part in the "spring cleaning" event organised by the Pink Bra Bazaar association.

The annual event, held on the first Sunday of spring, draws women of all ages together as part of a campaign to raise awareness of breast cancer.
