Fancy dress comes in all shapes and sizes at the London Sevens, with a group of Hannibal Lecter lookalikes in 2015.

There had been reports fancy dress could be banned for this year by the Rugby Football Union in a bid to curb anti-social behavior by spectators.

But these Star Trek wannabes can dress up again this weekend, although the RFU is not pushing a fancy dress theme as it has done in the past.

Instead, organizers have been working with locals in a bid to cut down on the level of drinking by spectators.

This year's theme is focused on food and families, and also local residents attending the event.

The Honey Monster was on hand 12 months ago to watch as the United States came away as surprise winner of the tournament.

In 2009, this set of Albert Einstein lookalikes partied at Twickenham.

With the stadium located in the flight path for Heathrow Airport, the air crew theme has proved popular.

Face-painting is also a common motif for fans.

Last year, one fan dressed as the gas cooker from the Wallace and Gromit movie "A Grand Day Out."

Trekkies tend to be in attendance, as evidenced a year ago in the English capital.

Cartoon characters such as Scooby-Doo are also popular.

Smurf costumes can be seen at many UK sporting events.
