Boris Johnson booed by crowds as he attends Platinum Jubilee service

Boris Johnson was booed by crowds as he entered St Paul's Cathedral for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebration earlier today.

The Prime Minister was accompanied by his wife Carrie at the thanksgiving service and faced jeers from onlookers as he got out his chauffeur driven car.

While many booed the Tory Prime Minister a number cheered in an attempt to drown out the jeers.

Johnson will attend alongside former Prime Minister's Theresa May, David Cameron, Gordon Brown and Tony Blair.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon is in attendance at the service in central London with her husband, while Labour leader Keir Starmer is also at the service.

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan also arrived at St Paul's Cathedral ahead of the thanksgiving service. Some of members of the public cheered as he passed by the crowds already amassing outside.

Although the crowds appear smaller than those seen at the Trooping the Colour festivities on Thursday, hundreds of people have gathered, some wearing Union Jack hats and others hanging flags and bunting over the railings on the approach to the cathedral.

The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall were the last royals to arrive, stopping to speak with members of the clergy before making their way inside to their seats.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, followed by Charles and Camilla, were the led in a procession to their seats in the front row of the cathedral.

The Queen will be watching the service at St Paul's on television from Windsor Castle.

She is expected to be resting at her Berkshire residence after the busy start to the Jubilee festivities on Thursday.
