Downing Street staff were booed by journalists as they removed Larry the cat from the doorstep of No 10.

Reporters were waiting for Joe Biden and Rishi Sunak to appear on Monday (10 July) when the famous feline made a welcome appearance.

A number of journalists were heard booing as the cat was taken back inside.
