The Sun newspaper will no longer feature topless women on Page Three, the Times has reported.
The Times, which has the same publisher as the Sun, said it understood Friday's edition of the Sun was the last which would carry images of topless women, although they would continue online.
Page Three has been a Sun feature for 44 years but has been criticised for being sexist and outdated.
The Sun's press office would neither confirm nor deny the reports.
Dylan Sharpe, the Sun's head of public relations tweeted: "Page 3 will be in the Sun tomorrow in the same place it's always been - between page 2 and page 4."
'Right direction'
The Sun had already stopped carrying topless images at weekends, and sometimes did the same during the week.
Page Three of the Sun featured model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in lingerie on Monday and Hollyoaks actresses Jennifer Metcalfe and Gemma Merna appeared in bikinis on a beach on Tuesday.
The Times, which is a News UK title, said the paper had decided to quietly drop the feature. It reported that News Corp executive chairman Rupert Murdoch is understood to have signed off the decision.
The topless images have long drawn protests from campaigners, with an online petition attracting more than 215,000 signatures.

That was the best thing about the Sun. Damn interior of white fans and cafes will never be the same again 
Jane Secker just confirmed on Sky that she doesn't wear a bra.

So the Sun have finally succumbed to a load of insecure women.
There was not a man on this planet who wanted it gone.
Most Sun readers are men.
Makes no sense.
They never had to read the paper.
According to Sky, they still have it Online anyway.

I picked up a copy of The Sun in the hairdressers a few months ago and was surprised to still see a topless woman on page 3.
Seemed such a strange, old-fashioned thing to see in a supposedly family newspaper.

I can feel a 'Save Our Stunnahs' campaign coming on
The majority of those against it tend to be insecure mingers.
Weak and pathetic move by the sun. Another example of pandering to a minority. Hope it feels the financial cost.
Any of these campaigning nipple nazis heard of the internet.
Here's a real opportunity for an ailing newspaper, The Guardian perhaps, to grab the Page 3 market with some , ahem, 'stunnahs' on their own Page 3.
It will be interesting to see if it affects their sales.
Alun2005 - I'm just imagining some lefty ta&t on Guardian page3 but still holding the look at my eyes you s&xist pig expression hahahahaahahahaha
jack I had a feeling as soon as you went into a hairdressers you were the type of fella who wouldn't approve of page 3
I haven't read this rag since I sat on the train on the way to college a few years ago, but to bow down to pressure after so long to lorry load of feminists is disappointing. Was reading one of the campaigners aged 35 today blaming her insecurities all her life on her own breasts (being small) on the effect of page 3.
Newspaper circulation I would imagine is dwindling anyway, they will probably all fold in the next 10 years in the paper form and move online soley. Will have to make do with the Metro only and it's mildly amusing love column "lady with the blonde hair and pencil skirt on the 7.46 train to London Bridge, caught my eye as you were getting off, fancy a coffee sometime?"....how about you ask her instead of emailing a newspaper ffs

Actually, I don't approve or disapprove to page 3 - just didn't realise they still had them!

Being a scouser I don't read the Sun, but it's a ridiculous capitulation to the feminist left wingers. I hope the Daily Star now features two scantily clad models every day by way of compensation.
Would be better news if they got rid of The Sun altogether.

the downfall was that all the models were under 25 with pert boobs , obviously telling women this IS the look you should have ,that's the ideal .
So eventually all these not so ideal women are booking in for plastic surgery
all a bit outdated i guess

are we sure it was just pressure from women's rights groups responsible for the demise of page 3?
Strange coincidence:
1) Sun drops page 3
2) Sky Broadband to block internet porn by default.
Rupert Murdoch getting religious in his dotage?

Yet another freedom removed from men
what a society

I think a support group needs to be set up to help devise excuses husbands can give to their wives to suddenly change ISP from Sky Broadband.
It has been claimed that a fair proportion of people who buy The Sun are illiterate and buy it to give the impression that they can read.The revamped Page 3 will be a big loss to them.
As a Guardian reader,I'll never forget their 'pygmy Guardian' comments.

Still the most important newspaper on the high street. Affects public opinion
I'd sooner get caught looking at t1ts rather than admitting to reading the Guardian
The great irony with the Guardian is if you ever see a copy your guaranteed tits......not in the publication obviously but the type of person reading it
I was thinking tw&ts but that's more hardcore than page3
I suppose builders etc. can download pics of t1ts, arses and clunges onto their smartphones now, rather than worrying about buying a newspaper to see such images - and that has to be progress.
The mingers who campaigned against page3 aren’t the type who read the Sun anyway , it’s about wanting to enforce their ideology on others.
The same lot want FHM , Loaded , Nuts etc etc band or at the very least put in the same category as Mayfair etal.

I agree with you pawras, women want all porn banned
To do this they are subtly changing men's view through the media.
If modern men do not eventually want to go the same way as the dinosaurs they need to be seeing this
Remove the vote from women, that should now be men's aim.
Also although it goes against the grain, men must reduce the importance of sex in our society
because this is where all women's power come from. They have nothing else.

its disgraceful,the direction of the girls **** was code for which way the ftse was going that day,how the hell we supposed to trade that now.
if they're owt like the ones that got it banned from the student union in my uni days they'll be largely completely unfkable hagss.
The mingers who campaigned against page3 .... will now be turning their attention to the fact you go down the boozer with your mates on a sunday afternoon.
they're not very happy about it and want something done ...

Any decision that upsets sun readers gets the thumbs up from me.
People read the Sun for entertainment, and it serves the reader well in that respect.
I'm skint now. I was laying 1.01 that Mikael would be on to say that he wanted it gone and I was bowled over by people getting on. Damn that lentil munching beardy sandal wearing luvvie.

Campaigners must feel like real t1ts this morning after days of crowing on National TV
Brilliant free marketing and advertising for the Sun.
Whether it was their plan all along NOT to remove page 3, or whether they are now only printing topless on page 3 on some days and models in various states of undress on others, they must be laughing all the way to the bank.

Seething joyless hags and luvvies crying in their breakfasts as they are accosted by a picture of breasts.
Now you know how the rest of us feel when women wack them out in the supermarkets or wherever they feel like because it's natural.

The Daily Star once sponsored the Arc, a Greyhound competition at Walthamstow. They sent the lasses down one night and a mate and I spent an hour or so chatting to them to the envy of lots of others in the bar.
There are ca. 6 new topless ladies in the Star today. The dark haired one from Newcastle looked rather nice!

Very good point EO the hypocrisy here is incredible
I would also suggest the way women dress and behave especially when they are drunk at night is far more likely cause
of sexual offences than looking at a pair of boobs in the Sun
Not that it justifies sexual offences of course
If they consider women are being degrading, I would suggest this is only the women who have voluntarily
agreed to appear in these pictures and are well paid...no other women are degraded ..if that is what they are?
Of course women do not like their husbands and boyfriends looking at these pictures,
in case they compare unfavourably, this is all that is going on here.
But they have no right to expect this other men..because basically this has nothing to do with women
As I have said before, modern men need to stop listening to women so much, they are just trying to control everything men do

Wonder how many people on here would be complaining if they had pictures of men bearing their backsides in the paper.
they used to have blokes on page7 in the sun, I didn't see gangs of fat beery blokes campaigning to have it stopped because they felt insecure
Shame if they do disappear from page 3, as its the only way the vast majority of the unwashed keep "a-breast" of the times.
Sanity prevails, and the Page 3 Stunnah returns, according to ITV Lunchtime News.
somewhat dissapointing thats todays stunnah has in proportion fried egg bristols
They should have a silicone ban imo. You can't beat shapely, flowing real ones over the "strained spherical bags" and the "Watford gap" between them

LOL so they've brought it back, I'd pay good money to have seen Sister Harriet Hatesmen's face when she heard that, priceless .

great publicity stunt for the Sun.
The hairy women must be outraged at being hood winked for the last few days.

in case you dont know the sun have a silicon ban for some years now the last enhanced chest seen was melinda messenger
I hope the boobs are back..I have not checked it..it is the principle
It is hardly hard core porn is it
no one gets hurt and it is harmless, very soft stuff
I should think men have been looking at women's boobs since time immemorial and will continue for the same time to come
Over the same period women have been getting them out
it is quite natural
