The two were flying to Florida ahead of the first round of Democratic debates that are due to take place next week, with Warren narrowly ahead of Sanders in the polls, with both trailing the frontrunner, Joe Biden.

Most people though immediately sympathised with the man in the middle of this photograph and he himself became a meme.
