UK Prime Minister Theresa May arrived in Berlin to meet German Chancellor Angela Merkel, but no-one was there to greet her.
Mrs Merkel traditionally welcomes important guests outside the Chancellery. This time though Mrs May had to make the walk inside on her own.
A few moments later the two leaders came out of the building for the usual photo opportunity with the press.
This is not the first time things haven’t gone to plan for the Prime Minister: just a few months ago, she was locked inside her own car on exactly the same spot.
Interestingly, Mrs May and Mrs Merkel seem to always be able to overcome the awkwardness of such moments by talking about the weather.
