Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been criticised for singing Bohemian Rhapsody in a London hotel two days before the Queen's funeral.
Trudeau was filmed belting out the song in the lobby of the Corinthia Hotel on Saturday evening UK time.
He could be heard singing the lyrics "easy come, easy go, little high, little low" and "any way the wind blows."
People also took to social media criticising him for being "disrespectful" to the Queen and the royal family.
"It’s an unbecoming, undignified display and completely inappropriate given the circumstances and his position," one Twitter user wrote.
"I don’t think the Brits are going to appreciate Trudeau partying on the eve of their beloved queen’s funeral,” wrote another. "What a disgrace."
However some people saw no issue with it, one Twitter user saying: "I’m no fan of Trudeau but honestly this is fine."
