Boris Johnson booed as he arrives at thanksgiving service - but Meghan and Harry are cheered

Boris Johnson and his wife Carrie were greeted with boos from the crowd outside St Paul’s Cathedral as they arrived for the National Thanksgiving Service this morning (June 3). As they walked up the steps some onlookers could be heard booing, although there were also cheers from some members of the crowd.

A commentator for the BBC said: “The Prime Minister arriving with his wife. There is quite a lot of booing. A substantial amount. We have not heard that for any other VIP guests, that is fair to say.”

The response from the crowd comes following the publication of the Sue Gray report, which revealed that a number of parties took place at Downing Street during Covid lockdowns. The couple both received police fines for breaching Covid rules.
