Boris Johnson BOOED as PM enters St Paul’s for Jubilee service with Carrie

Queen’s Jubilee: Boris Johnson arrives at St Paul’s Cathedral

Boris Johnson was loudly booed as soon as he arrived at St Paul’s Cathedral for today’s service of thanksgiving for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. Mr Johnson, who was joined by his wife Carrie, was booed and jeered by the crowd outside the landmark cathedral.  BBC presenter Jane Hill remarked that the Prime Minister was the “only VIP guest” to receive such a hostile reception. 

Loud boos and whistles could be heard as the Prime Minister walked up the steps to the entrance, although there were also some cheers from onlookers.

Speaking outside the Cathedral, Ms Hill said: “There is booing in the crowd there.

“Really, there is quite a lot of booing actually. A substantial amount. “

Royal historian professor Anna Whitlock remarked: “I did not see that coming.”

Former Prime Ministers Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, David Cameron, and Theresa May were all also in attendance for the service. 

Serving cabinet ministers Sajid Javid, Liz Truss and Priti Patel also took seats at St Paul’s.
