Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau made sure to glam up his appearance for his meeting on Thursday with Taoiseach Enda Kenny - by wearing a lurid pair of Star Wars-themed socks.
On an official May 4th visit by Mr Kenny to Montreal, Mr Trudeau showed off his sci-fi credentials by being snapped by the press pack in the brightly coloured socks - in contrast with the sobriety of the rest of his suit and that of his guest.
