Growth on ends of tomato trusses

Whilst giving the tomatoes some much needed pruning tonight I noticed that on quite a few plants there are new shoots growing at the end of the trusses complete with a stem, leaves, internodal growth and flowers. Should I prune them off as I would internodals or leave them? They are most common on the cherry toms but on others too.

I've seen that before - looks wierd doesn't it. I just pruned off the ends and put it down to being one of those things that you get with vine like plants. If you leave them I'd guess they would try to become full plants which wouldn't work in that position.
