Theresa May donned hi-vis and snapped selfies with runners as she marshalled a 10 mile run in her own constituency.

The Prime Minister looked unusually casual as she herded joggers in the right direction during the Maidenhead Easter 10 on Good Friday.

She was pictured posing for selfies with cheery participants and supporters.

The run comes as Mrs May prepares to head to Wales for an Easter walking break with her husband.

She let slip her holiday plans earlier this month at a Westminster dinner for political correspondents which had been postponed because of the election, joking: "I was looking forward to this event so much that I called a general election to get out of it.

"But I can't pull that stunt two years in a row. Or can I? I am, after all, going walking in Wales at Easter."
