This combo picture shows the selfie of (from left) David Cameron, Helle Thorning-Schmidt and Barack Obama that has gone viral around the world.

Outrage over the US president having a laugh with British PM and Danish PM at Nelson Mandela service misses the point.

DAVID Cameron, Barack Obama and the Danish prime minister, Helle Thorning-Schmidt, may have been caught out being less than graceful at Nelson Mandela’s memorial service by taking selfies, but at least they got one bit of etiquette right.
