The Duchess of Cambridge has sparked worldwide celebrations after giving birth to an 8lb 6oz baby boy yesterday afternoon. Gun salutes across London today marked the birth of the new Prince. And the bells of Westminster Abbey will sound for three hours this afternoon in celebration. Three of the ten bell ringers are the same as those who performed the same task for new dad Prince William's birth more than 30 years ago. The Duchess of Cambridge's parents Carole and Michael Middleton were the baby's first visitors, as they arrived at the Lindo Wing of St Mary's. The new grandparents arrived in a black cab and were greeted lead clinician Jonathan Ramsay, before they walked up to the doorway. Carole said the baby was "absolutely beautiful". She added: "They're both doing really well, we're so thrilled." Yesterday afternoon, proud Prince William immediately called the Queen, his father Prince Charles, and his brother Harry and made sure Kate’s family was told the happy news. After more than a week of waiting, Kate was admitted to the Lindo Wing of St Mary’s, Paddington, west London, at 5.30am, already in labour. Just under 11 hours later the baby, who is third in line to the throne after Charles and William, arrived at 4.24pm. Palace sources said the couple chose to delay the public announcement of the birth until 8.30pm to allow them to spend “quality time” together.
