Bush raised eyebrows with his dance moves at a service to remember the five police officers shot dead by snipers at the Dallas Black Lives Matter protest. Holding hands with his wife, Laura, and Michelle Obama, Bush is seen smiling and dancing while the choir sang "Battle Hymn of the Republic" at the event in the Texas city.

His awkward moves left many on social media cringing and questioning whether his behaviour was appropriate given the somber, emotional occasion. One Twitter user, Roger Cullins, said: "I usually like Bush - but why in the world was he dancing and being goofy during last song? I was cringing."

Kelly Byrd tweeted: "George Bush dancing to ‘Glory Glory Hallelujah’ at the #DallasMemorial while smirking makes my heart hurt." The video shows Michelle and Barrack Obama looking at the former President and appearing confused. Steve Silberman said: "The look on Michelle Obama's face as Bush starts rocking out at a funeral is everything."

Other viewers found it funny. Brooke Erdmann said: "George Bush just made my day: dancing (bopping?) along to ‘Glory Glory Hallelujah’ while holding Michelle Obama's hand." Bush has busted-out the dance moves on a number of occasions in the past, most notably when he joined in with Senegalese performers during an event marking Malaria awareness day at the White House in 2007.
