British Prime Minister, David Cameron yesterday travelled to the Olympics on a crowded train with hundreds of other passengers.

The Prime Minister used the Underground as he travelled to the Aquatics Centre in Stratford to watch Tom Daley and Peter Waterfield narrowly miss out on a medal in the 10m synchronised diving final.

Wearing a blue shirt and navy blazer, the PM looked a little awkward as he sat on the Bakerloo line train next to a casually dressed commuter and an Olympic worker in uniform.

He clasped his hands together on his lap and looked straight ahead while stunned passengers in the carriage stared at him.

Mr Cameron – who often cycles to Parliament – said: “I’ve just actually come on the tube myself to see what the traffic situation is like. It's not too bad, the Bakerloo line is going all right.”

Simply amazing, Humble Leadership in its beauty!

How I hope our leaders can do this
