Poll: Was the Mandela memorial 'selfie' disrespectful?
It is the craze sweeping the globe– and it appears world leaders are happy to do it even when attending a memorial service.
Barack Obama and David Cameron were caught posing for a selfie at Nelson Mandela's stadium tribute.
Pictures taken inside the FNB Stadium in Soweto, South Africa, showed the two leaders smiling as they leaned in for a photo with Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt.
But Michelle Obama appeared less than impressed at their antics at an event to mark the death of Mr Mandela. An estimated 50,000 South Africans flocked to the stadium to celebrate the anti-apartheid hero's life, as millions more watched on television around the world.
The service was one of the biggest ever gatherings of current and former heads of state. Mr Cameron was accompanied by his predecessors Gordon Brown, Tony Blair and Sir John Major.
Other VIPs included U2 singer Bono and Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron, who sat together in the stadium, and Francois Pienaar, who captained South Africa at the 1995 Rugby World Cup.
Selfies have become the latest craze, filling internet sites and being named earlier this month as the word of the year.
Neither Mr Obama nor Mr Cameron are strangers to selfie snaps.
The President posed for a photo with one of his supporters on the election campaign trail last year, while the Prime Minister was famously spotted taking a nap in the background of an Instagram picture taken by the sister of his wife Samantha.
