Selfie: David Cameron and Barack Obama took a picture of themselves alongside Denmark's prime minister Helle Thorning Schmidt

  • Hundreds of world leaders gather in Johannesburg’s FNB Stadium for Nelson Mandela’s memorial service
  • Barack Obama paid tribute to anti-apartheid icon, saying ‘We will never see the likes of Nelson Mandela again’
  • Shook hands with Cuba’s Raul Castro on his way to the podium in historic gesture of reconciliation
  • He was joined by ex-Presidents George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter at the ceremony
  • David Cameron, Nick Clegg and Ed Miliband were there along with every living former Prime Minister of the UK
  • Ceremony started an hour late in pouring rain as leader said ‘the gods are welcoming Mandela to heaven’
  • But 95,000-seater stadium was around a third empty as many well-wishers were apparently deterred by weather
  • South African president Jacob Zuma repeatedly booed by the crowd while Obama and Robert Mugabe are cheered
