Does this picture not show that 2 of the worlds leaders are Celebrating a great Mans life, are they not human with feelings after all, I bet Nelson Mandela would be looking down asking what is all the fuss….
and what is a selfie…
Only 2 of the world’s leaders, GMT? Which of the three is excluded from that dubious accolade?

There is a broader context. People have been posting funeral selfies for some weeks now, prompting harrumphs in the media. It’s not a debate I thought readers would be particularly interested in. Well, it doesn’t interest me — all a bit frothy.
If you’re interested in checking out a few, see here: http://selfiesatfunerals.tumblr.com/
Type funeral selfies into google and see what folk have been saying.
Jonathan we could have some fun here, but has any one noticed the bloke behind the 3 amigo’s trying to his his face, a excellent caption here would be, I don’t want any part of this,
Were this story and the fake sign man just distractions? From what I saw of the service, it did look shambolic.
Organising these huge state occasions is difficult – and frankly I believe we Brits are the worlds best at it.
There must be many long and tedious intervals at such occasions and , whilst they must have felt obliged to be present, there was little for them actually to do. President Obama gave materiel for a new generation of celebrants by quoting from Invictus but I’m not sue what David Cameron or the Danish PM thought of the event.
As organisers, funeral directors should spare a thought for those who had to ensure President Obama could arrive in Johannesburg on time and to minimise the risks to his security. He is a class act and Jo’burg is a rough place.
