Downing Street Posts Photoshopped Poppy Picture Of PM

David Cameron has been left blushing after a crude attempt at Photoshopping.

A photo of the Prime Minister wearing a poppy was quickly redacted as the new profile image for the official 10 Downing Street Facebook page after it emerged it had been digitally doctored onto his jacket.

The revelation came courtesy of one Twitter user, Dylan Morris, of Plymouth.

An hour later, Downing Street deleted the picture and replaced it with one of the prime minister actually wearing a poppy, but not before the original photo had been spotted by other people on social media.

The internet reacted in typical fashion:
