Boris Johnson had his hands full with Wilf as he enjoyed a family day out at a zoo in Hertfordshire.

The Prime Minister, 57, was seen lifting the one-year-old into his arms while his wife Carrie, 34, held four-month-old Romy in a baby sling.

A member of the public said the Johnsons arrived at Paradise Wildlife Park yesterday with little fanfare, albeit accompanied by a security entourage.

‘They just looked like any other family really – everyone was ignoring them in the main,’ the source told the Express.

The Johnsons were seen strolling around the World of Dinosaurs – a popular exhibition inside the park, which is home to 800 exotic animals, including big cats.

The PM is due to head to Chequers for his Easter break, with a No10 spokesman saying the plan was for him to ‘get some rest and spend some time with family’.

The jolly snaps couldn’t have been more of a contrast to ones that emerged of Mr Johnson three days ago meeting Ukraine’s President Zelensky in war-torn Kyiv. 

Footage showed the pair meeting and sitting across a table from each other, their respective flags on the far side.

Mr Johnson was wearing a dark suit and Zelensky a khaki overall, his signature attire in public appearances since February 24.

During a walkabout in the heart of Kyiv, they were handed ceramic cockerels that have come to symbolise the resistance to Putin since one survived on the top of a kitchen cabinet following bombing in Borodianka.

In an address to the Ukrainian people overnight, Mr Zelensky said: ‘The leadership of the United Kingdom, in providing our country with all the necessary assistance in terms of defence, as well as leadership in sanctions policy, will go down in history forever.’

He said the future of Europe and not just Ukraine’s was at stake.

He said Russia’s aggression ‘was not intended to be limited to Ukraine alone’ and the ‘entire European project is a target’.

‘That is why it is not just the moral duty of all democracies, all the forces of Europe, to support Ukraine’s desire for peace,’ Zelensky said. ‘This isa strategy of defence for every civilised state.’

Security officials gave the green light to the visit after the exhausted and battered Russian forces, which had tried to encircle Kyiv, were withdrawn by Putin.
