UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has served Christmas lunch to British troops based in Estonia on a one-day visit to the Baltic country.
Mr Johnson thanked the servicemen and women for their work as he joined them for lunch at the Tapa military base near the capital Tallinn. The base hosted 850 British troops from the Queen's Royal Hussars who lead the NATO battlegroup, along with personnel from Estonia, France and Denmark.
It is the UK's largest operational deployment in Europe and forms part of NATO's Enhanced Forward Presence in the region. The prime minister posed for selfies with some of the soldiers and then asked them to form an orderly queue as he served up the festive lunch of turkey and Yorkshire puddings. Image: Getty
