Number 10 has released five images capturing some of Theresa May's key moments as Prime Minister to mark her first 100 days in office.
From her first PMQs to her first meeting as PM with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, here are some of the defining moments of her time in office so far.
:: Picture One - PM leaves No 10 to attend her first PMQs July 20
The new Prime Minister, armed with her briefing notes and her trademark kitten heels, leaves Downing Street for her first PMQs. A big moment for any prime minister; Tony Blair once described the weekly 30-minute sessions as "the most nerve-racking, discombobulating, nail-biting, bowel-moving, terror-inspiring, courage-draining experience in my prime minister life, without question".
:: Picture Two - PM walks up the grand staircase of No 10 towards the cabinet room
Theresa May walking up the grand staircase of Downing Street, passing all the portraits of prime ministers that served before her as she takes her place as the country's 76th PM.
:: Picture Three - PM leaving RAF Northolt en route to Northern Ireland
Mrs May travels to both Ireland and Scotland in her first two weeks of office to press upon the leaders of the UK's nations that she is committed to keeping the union together in the wake of Brexit. She flew to see Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon in Edinburgh just two days after becoming Prime Minister, before travelling to Northern Ireland to visit First Minister Arlene Foster 10 days later.
:: Picture Four - G20 summit in China
Another milestone for Mrs May as the Prime Minister attends her first G20 summit in China. But an uneasy summit for the new leader as she finds herself under pressure from the US and other countries over trade links in a post-Brexit world. She also faced questions over Chinese investment in the UK after her decision to review Beijing's investment in the Hinkley Point nuclear plant - which she has since approved.
:: Picture Five - Bilateral talks between Theresa May and Chancellor Merkel
Mrs May chooses to visit her strongest continental ally, Chancellor Merkel, for her first foreign trip as Prime Minister - a sign of the importance the Prime Minister places on this bilateral relationship as she begins to negotiate Britain's exit from the European Union.
