DAVID Cameron has been pictured for the first time since announcing his intention to resign as he commemorates Armed Forces Day.

The Prime Minister is up in Cleethorpes for a military parade and air show as he begins his farewell tour as leader of the nation.

The top Tory was forced to step down after six years in Downing Street after the country backed Brexit in Thursday’s historic EU referendum.
He made an emotional statement on the steps of Number 10 yesterday morning after it became clear the UK had voted to leave.
Appearing alongside his wife Samantha he said he had informed the Queen of his decision to remain in place for the short term.

“The British people have voted to leave the European Union and their will must be respected,” he said.
“The will of the British people is an instruction that must be delivered.”
Mr Cameron said he wanted a new leader to be in place by this autumn’s Conservative conference.
He added: “I do not think it would be right for me to be the captain that steers our country to its next destination.”
His voice breaking, Mr Cameron said: “I love this country and I feel honoured to have served it and I will do everything I can in future to help this great country succeed.”

Today he is joining the Duke of Kent to watch an amphibious capability demonstration at the event in Lincolnshire.
There will also be appearances by the RAF Falcons parachute display team and flypasts by the Red Arrows and the RAF’s Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.
The announcement came after the electorate chose to quit the EU by 52% to 48%.
Mr Cameron said he accepted the outcome, which has left the country split in half.
While most of England and Wales chose to Leave the EU, voters in Scotland and London overwhelmingly backed Remain.
A massive popular uprising against the capital’s elites was credited for the extraordinary result – which defied almost every expert prediction.
Huge swathes of the North, the East coast, the Midlands and rural areas across the south, all backed Out.
The final result saw 17,759,184 Brits vote to leave, while 16,580,508 backed remain.
All eyes are now on Boris Johnson with the former London Mayor the favourite to become the next Prime Minister.
The Brexiteer emerged this morning as he set off for a day in the countryside with his wife Marina Wheeler.
He was pictured waving to the waiting photographers, but he is yet to formally set out whether he will run in the upcoming Tory leadership election.
It comes Theresa May is being tipped to stand against him as his enemies try and block his path to Downing Street.
The Home Secretary has emerged as the favoured “Stop Boris” candidate, and is seen as the person who may be able to put the party back together, after it was once again left deeply divided over Britain’s relationship with Europe.
