As the campaign trail comes to an end today, the party leaders are likely breathing a sigh of relief and giving themselves a pat on the back for overcoming the trials, tribulations and many potential pitfalls which litter the road to Number 10.

In an age where hawk-eyed political types are watching the every move, look, tweet and, of course, table manners of politicians, this election has been a surprisingly gaffe-free one – much to the disappointment of some.

Despite the highly stage-managed performances, there were still the odd few awkward moments which slipped through the net.

Think you know them? Put your election knowledge to the test and see if you can guess the gaffe.
