As Rishi Sunak settles into his new role as Prime Minister, his family unpacks their boxes at their new home - Number 10. And Sunak, his wife Akshata Murty and their daughters Anoushka and Krishna are joined at the famous residence London by their adorable dog, Nova.

And today the red Labrador Retriever made his public debut, when he was seen stuffing a £20 note into a Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal box. This was Akshata and Nova's first public appearance outside of Number 10 since making it their new home.
