Gordon Brown Tony Blair

The seating arrangements in Westminster Hall as the Queen addressed parliament drew a lot of comment on Tuesday; Ed Miliband's wife Justine next to Nick Clegg, David Cameron squeezed in next to the Labour leader.

But it was the positioning of the speaker's wife, Sally Bercow, which drew the most attention, with the 42-year-old betwixt Tony Blair and Gordon Brown.

Sally's seat between the two former PMs, who famously don't get on, delighted politicos, who took to Twitter to express their surprise that the Labour-supporting speaker's wife was acted as a "buffer" between the two men.


Joe Watts
They've put Sally Bercow in between Blair and Brown at the Queen's jubilee speech to stop them squabbling.


Andrew Turmer
What a peculiar seating plan at this Queen thing. Dave next to Ed? Brown, Sally Bercow then Blair? Weird weird weird.


Nicholas Pope
Sally Bercow was ordered to be on her best behaviour today when John Bercow welcomes the Queen to Westminster Hall. I wonder if she behaved.

See below for a slideshow of some of the best reaction to the unusual threesome.

Why were Brown and B-Liar there in the first place, the worst two so called Prime Ministers who managed to drag the UK down to a third world nation and leave the country on the edge of bankruptcy. Remind me again how many times did Brown and B-liar went to Wootton Bassett to welcome back the bodies of our young soldiers that they sent to their deaths. How can they show their faces in public on the day that 6 bodies from the Yorkshire Regiment are brought back to Brize Norton. Absolutely shameful and the ultimate hypercrites..

Separating them now is abit like shutting the door after the horses have bolted: where was Sally a few years ago when it would have made a difference?

Never mind attending a Royal occasion, Blair and Brown should be in the Tower facing trial for treason.

Maybe Bliar.

Gordon has done nothing other than have the unfortunate luck of being the PM during a global crisis, during which he rallied the Leaders of the world and help avoid a depression; much more than we have seen Dodgy Dave doing.

Stop being a low information citizen and do some reading to get the facts right, rather than listening to a corrupt media and the nasty Tories.

Look at the pictures the vast majority of those attending have no official position. They are somebody's pal who happens to have influence in the right quarters.

Neither has Blair or Brown. Blair is no longer in parliament, and has anyway done all the damage now. Brown is still an MP of course, in his case it stands for Missing Person. Then again, no one is looking for him, except perhaps his publisher.

Speak for yourself. Not all of us have been brainwashed by a corrupt media, the trecherous Blairites and Dodgy Dave, into believing that Brown was responsible for a financial world crisis.

Which he was not.
