Boris Johnson and his wife Carrie were greeted with boos – and some shouts in response – as they arrived at St Paul’s Cathedral this morning for a ceremony commemorating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

The Prime Minister appeared to be booed as he climbed up the stairs of the cathedral after reading Philippians Chapter 4, verses 4-9 from the New Testament at the National Thanksgiving Service.

According to Sky News, the PM was greeted with a mix of boos and applause, though the BBC claimed Johnson was ‘widely booed.’

His presence comes amid mounting doubts about his future, with a potential no-confidence vote looming.

The Prime Minister wore a black jacket with a grey waistcoat, while Carrie wore a long red dress after wearing a bright pink ensemble the day before.

The mother-of-two wore a Sandro dress with Dune red pointed heels and an AJ Gretton Millinery white hat with a spray of red feathers.

Johnson and his wife were later joined in the cathedral by ex-Prime Ministers such as David Cameron and Tony Blair, as well as contemporary politicians such as Keir Starmer and Sadiq Khan.

It follows months of controversy for Johnson and the Conservative government as a result of a series of rule-breaking Number 10 parties during lockdown.

The Prime Minister, Carrie, and the Chancellor all apologized in April after the Met Police issued fixed penalty notices (FPNs) for the party in the Cabinet Room on June 19, 2020.

Senior civil servant Sue Gray discovered boisterous drinks parties at the heart of Government on April 16, 2021, the eve of the Duke of Edinburgh’s burial – albeit without the PM himself – in her recent report.
