The prime minister has told aides he does not want to point at fish again when he goes on holiday this summer. His penchant for fish-pointing has been well documented over recent years – sparking much merriment online.

This year Cameron plans to spend much of August relaxing with family in Portugal, Cornwall and Scotland after his election success. One source close to the PM told BuzzFeed News: "He wants to avoid being photographed pointing at fish this year."

Instead, Cameron hopes to find another place – or plaice – for the traditional holiday photo opportunity. Number 10 usually agrees to an agency photo at the beginning of the PM's holiday in return for him being left alone by journalists afterwards.

Let's look back at that fish-pointing evidence. Here he is with wife Samantha in Cascais, Portugal, last year.
