- Mrs May who described shoes as ‘the love of her life’ crowned tree in church
- PM beamed as she placed the silver heel while husband Philip watched on
- On Friday morning Mrs May sealed a deal with EU on Brexit ‘divorce’ terms
Theresa May today crowned her church’s Christmas tree with a shoe in fitting tribute to her love of expensive footwear.
The Prime Minister beamed as she placed the silver heel on the tree while husband Philip watched on in their Maidenhead church.
Mrs May described shoes as ‘the love of her life’ after famously chiding her colleagues for their reputation as ‘the nasty party’ in a pair of leopard-print kitten heels in 2002.

There was not a hint of tiredness about Mrs May who had only two hours sleep on Thursday night before she jetted to Brussels to seal a Brexit divorce terms deal on Friday morning.
Key elements of the deal include guarantees for three million EU citizens in this country and one million Britons abroad, a severely limited role for the European Court of Justice and a two-year Brexit ‘implementation period’.
There will be a proposed cut-off date of March 29, 2019, after which new arrivals from the EU will lose the automatic right to work, claim benefits and stay in this country.
Yesterday’s breakthrough came after what Downing Street acknowledged had been a ‘tough’ 24 hours for Mrs May.
The Prime Minister carried out a string of negotiations by phone with Mr Juncker, Irish Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and DUP leader Arlene Foster. She had vetoed the original deal on Monday.
