Prime Minister David Cameron with his wife Samantha leave 10 Downing Street for the last time after speaking to the press to visit Buckingham Palace to formally tender his resignation to the Queen on July 13, 2016

David Cameron attended the event with his mother in one of his first public appearances since quitting as Prime Minister last July.

He said: “I’m incredibly proud of my mother. She was an absolute role model to me.

“She really imbued in me this idea of public service, she was a magistrate for about 30 years.

“She’s just a wonderful woman, so it’s really lovely to bring her to something like this, because I’ve been to a few events like this in my lifetime, but never one with my mum, so that’s really nice.”
