Sir Keir Starmer was pushed to the sidelines for a leaders' photo at Tuesday's Nato summit, with the Prime Minister spotted all the way back on the third row.
He cut a lonely figure halfway up the stairs of the Huis ten Bosch Palace in The Hague, Netherlands as the meeting of heads of state kicked off.
Taking centre stage were US president Donald Trump and his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron, who flanked Dutch King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima on the front row ahead of a lavish dinner.
But Sir Keir, meanwhile, looked rather stranded in the background, placed next to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, with the latter standing some distance away from the British representative.
The Prime Minister is hoping to formally agree a defence and security spending pledge of 5 per cent of GDP by 2035 with his fellow leaders at the summit, but he seemed to struggle to find anyone to talk to as various guests chatted among themselves on the palace steps.
