GB News presenter Dan Wootton receives backlash after sharing clip placing flowers at Buckingham Palace

GB News presenter Dan Wootton has been criticised on social media after sharing a video in which he could be seen laying a floral tribute at Buckingham Palace. It comes in the wake of the palace announcing the death of Queen Elizabeth II in Balmoral on Thursday (September 8).

In the 16-second clip, the journalist can be seen wearing sunglasses and dark clothing as he walks forward to lay a bouquet of flowers against the rails of Buckingham Palace, alongside the many other tributes left by members of the public. In the caption, he wrote: "I wanted to return to Buckingham Palace today for some quiet reflection and lay my own tribute.

"Crowds young, old, from all ethnicities and backgrounds. Truly the best of British doing her justice." Since being shared to his social media on Saturday (September 10), it has received more than 18,000 comments on Twitter.
