Boris Johnson was among the seven surviving prime ministers at the Queen’s funeral on Monday, although he had to wait his turn before he was let in.
And we wonder what the former Conservative party leader was thinking when the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby said this.

To conclude …
The transition to Archbishop of Banterbury is complete. Ice pack for Johnson, quick. https://t.co/KsiOq1uI09
