Eton boys given private audience with Vladimir Putin
A group of boys from Britain's prestigious Eton College have met Russia's President Vladimir Putin during a visit to the Kremlin.
The rare meeting, held in a state room, apparently lasted at least an hour, during which Mr Putin discussed world affairs with the 11 boys.
One of the boys present, David Wei, said on Facebook he had sent more than 1,000 emails to set up the meeting.
He said Mr Putin, renowned as a tough leader, had shown "his human face".
Photos of the event were posted on social media, showing the group shaking hands with Mr Putin and sitting around a table listening to the Russian leader, wearing translation headsets.
