British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was met with boos, jeers, and some applause as he arrived at London's St Paul's Cathedral for a Service of Thanksgiving for Queen Elizabeth on Friday, reflecting the mounting pressure he is facing in office.


While former prime ministers received gentle applause as they arrived at the service, Johnson and his wife Carrie were met with boos and jeers from the large crowd of royal fans waiting outside the cathedral.

Some people clapped and cheered his arrival.

A growing number of lawmakers in his own party have called for Johnson to quit, with speculation he might face a leadership challenge.
