David Cameron and his wife Samantha have marked their wedding anniversary with a picture of their feet.

While his successor Theresa May got to work on the final week of her general election campaign, the former prime minister and his wife were enjoying a holiday in Andalusia, Spain.

Mrs Cameron posted the picture on her Instagram account on Thursday.

She wrote: "Married for 21 years today!"

Many Instagram users congratulated the couple, external, but not everyone has been so kind. The front page of Friday's Daily Mail declared the picture "toe-curling" and "tacky"., external

Others have noted how well groomed the pair's naked feet appear.

"Did David get a pedicure too?" asked one Instagram fan, external.

Mrs Cameron, who launched her fashion label in November, may have taken inspiration from former First Lady Michelle Obama, who posted a similar foot selfie earlier this year to mark Valentine's day .
