| (about 2 hours later) | |
| A toddler has shown his apparent distaste for the British establishment by throwing a tantrum, first at the Queen and then at Prime Minister Theresa May after the unveiling of the Iraq and Afghanistan war memorial. | |
| After the monument was revealed, the Queen received a posy from the Lunn family - Serjeant Mark Lunn, 29, who was awarded the Military Cross for his actions during a fire-fight in Basra, his wife, Corporal Michelle Lunn, 26, and their two-year-old son Alfie. | |
| Alfie, held by his mother, is visibly upset as the Queen walks towards them. When the flowers are handed to the monarch, the little boy reaches out for them. | |
| He then wrestles himself out of his mother's arms and tries to run away. | |
| He can’t escape, however, and the boy continues to cry and scream as the Queen speaks to the couple. | |
| As May approaches, his tantrum appears to worsen. At one point the boy appears to relax and starts smiling, but when May attempts to speak to him his fit begins again. | As May approaches, his tantrum appears to worsen.
