Yesterday was the day set aside for the Nelson Mandela memorial service in Johannesburg and almost all the world leaders were present including UK Prime Minister David Cameron, US President Barack Obama and Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmid.

The program as watched worldwide went on smoothly, though certain hiccups are meant to occur but among the so called grievous occurrence was when the UK Prime Minister, US President and Danish Prime Minister were all seen taking pictures of themselves.

People online are accusing them of undermining the seriousness of the event by smiling and taking photos on their mobile phones.

We are not in poll position to start another rigorous debate on whether it was right or wrong.

What do you think, was this appropriate or otherwise?
