The PM’s office made an embarrassing faux pas
Despite having hundreds of images of David Cameron wearing a poppy available, Downing Street photoshopped a poppy onto the lapel of the prime minister.

Within an hour, the image on the official Twitter account of the prime minister had been changed to a picture of Cameron actually wearing a poppy.
But the public had already had the chance to describe the photoshopped image as “cheap”, “disrespectful” and “weird”. But Twitter, as always, saw the funny side.
I see NO evidence that David Cameron’s poppy pic was Photoshopped. People need to stop jumping to conclusions. pic.twitter.com/xISpGwESD1

Number 10’s first crude attempt to photoshop a poppy onto an old pic of David Cameron was an even bigger blunder. pic.twitter.com/AXFyG2CcVU
