Embattled UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson was booed on Friday by a crowd gathered for one of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee events.

Johnson received a barrage of jeers as he arrived with his wife Carrie Symonds by his side at Saint Paul's Cathedral in London for the Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee Thanksgiving service, according to video from the BBC.

The British leader endured the booing — and some whistling — from the onlookers for several seconds after he stepped out of a black car and went up the stairs to the cathedral with his wife.

Johnson appeared unphased by the backlash at the event for the Platinum Jubliee, which celebrates the Queen's 70 years on the throne.

The UK prime minister has been under fire for the so-called "partygate" scandal surrounding Downing Street parties and gatherings that were held despite COVID-19 lockdowns.
