It's the middle of the week, you need to see this policeman dancing to Beyonce
There's still a couple of days to the weekend so to get you through it here's something to cheer you up.
Deuntay Diggs, a 2nd Lieutenant for the county sheriff’s office in Stafford, Virginia, can be seen slaying it at a homecoming pep rally in the US on Friday.
If his dancing rendition of Queen Bey's 'Formation' doesn't pick you up, then maybe the school kids going berserk will do it.

Diggs is a motivational speaker and he says he is the first openly gay deputy to serve at the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office. Two days before he gave this sensational performance, his mother had been given two months to live after her cancer diagnosis.
Deuntay is getting married in July to his partner, Benjamin Leitner, and wants to dance with his mother at the ceremony.
He cancelled his school visit to stay with her in hospital for a couple of days, but while he showed her some of his dancing videos he decided to go through with it after she encouraged him "to keep on dancing".
He told Buzzfeed: "We’re sitting there talking and I said, 'Well, I want you at my wedding because we’re supposed to dance together'. And she hasn’t seen any of my dancing videos.
"So we sat and laughed for a little bit and watched the videos, and she said, 'Well, I want you'. So I came back and I told them I wasn’t going to cancel."
Diggs - who deals with race and how law enforcement is percieved - said: "The reason I’m doing this is to show kids that they can make it, that they can survive, that they can be successful.
"I’ve been very fortunate, at this time when people look negatively upon law enforcement, that I’m able to change that narrative and open up some conversations and engage with people.
“I didn’t want to disappoint the kids. And dancing helps.”
It certainly does. Let's look at it again.
