President Obama took a selfie during the memorial service for Nelson Mandela.
British Prime Minister David Cameron and Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning Schmidt also appeared in the photo with Obama. To Obama’s left, looking less than thrilled about the moment was first lady Michelle Obama.
The Getty Images caption of the picture reads:
Obama’s picture now appears on the Tumblr with the caption “Obama has taken a Funeral Selfie, so our work here is done.”
America can perhaps be relieved he was not making a “duck face.”
