The British Prime Minister took a break from the growing crisis in Iraq today - to go body boarding on a beach in Cornwall. Mr Cameron spent 20 minutes in the water while his security team watched from the shore. The PM broke off his holiday on Wednesday morning following the brutal murder of US journalist James Foley by a British jihadist - but returned after just 19 hours.
Mr Cameron was today urged to recall Parliament over the developing crisis in Iraq by the former head of the British military Lord Dannatt.
The PM returned to Downing Street for emergency meetings with the Foreign Secretary on Wednesday morning after a video was published online of the brutal beheading of Mr Foley by a jihadi thought to be British.
Mr Cameron is believed to have ordered the security services to track down Mr Foley's British killers, but pledged not to offer a 'knee jerk' response to the murder. Speaking from Downing Street, Mr Cameron said: 'Let me condemn the barbaric and brutal act that has taken place and let's be clear what this act is - it is an act of murder, and murder without any justification.'
