The keen-eyed will spot more than seven grinning leaders after UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson welcomed the heads of South Korea, Australia and South Africa, as well as the secretary-general of the United Nations, António Guterres.
The British government said the guest nations were invited to take part in the summit as part of Mr Johnson's "Global Britain" agenda and that the expanded group can help the G7 "intensify cooperation between the world's democratic and technologically advanced nations".
