For the British Prime Minister David Cameron photoshop results went hugely embarrassing as the editing proved out to be a fail accompanied by dislikes from around the globe.

One saw Mr Cameron covered in hundreds of poppies, while another showed his face photoshopped onto a large poppy.

Apart from the symbolic red flower used to commemorate Britain’s war dead, the photgraph appears identical to a previous profile picture uploaded two years ago.

Fans also noticed the original poppy-free image, which was first uploaded in November 2013, still remained in the online gallery of Downing Street’s official Facebook page.

While another person added: “A blatant and pretty rushed photoshop job there!”

Another posted: “That poppy is as fake as your care for ‘the strivers who get up at 8am every day and work and provide”.

The Facebook page 10 Downing Street, which is Cameron’s official social media page, was ridiculed on Monday after it was discovered that it added a Remembrance Day poppy on the prime minister’s profile photo.

“This was an oversized, unwanted and an embarrassing picture that was taken down quickly”, a spokeswoman at 10 Downing Street told CNN.
