Mourners out to pay tribute to the late Queen were stunned to see French President Emmanuel Macron strolling along the River Thames in London.
In a lighter moment during the Queen's official mourning period, the VIP and his wife Brigitte, who had earlier been to see Her Majesty's lying in state, decided to go walkabout through the Sunday London sunshine - and social media loved it.
The president mingled with those gathered on the streets around parliament - and was even said to have been spotted outside a branch of Greggs. One person tweeted, under a photograph appearing to show the immaculately dressed leader, complete with designer sunglasses:"Juste un petit voyage incognito à Greggs" -"Just a little incognito trip to Greggs"!
