A couple from Brighton travelled up to London yesterday hoping to get a glimpse of the Royal baby.

Kizzi Hudson-Roberts and Chris McComb travelled from Brighton yesterday morning but missed the excitement by a few minutes.

Having watched television footage the night before, the euphoria in the capital made them make the trip and they took their baby son Mason, just seven weeks old.

Ms Hudson-Roberts said: "We went to Buckingham Palace and queued up to see the notice.

"We hoped we'd get here on time."

She thought it was "brilliant" that William drove his wife and baby home, and Mr McComb agreed, saying: "That's tradition, to drive the lady home."

With the "Great Kate Wait" now over, the cramped press pens outside the Lindo Wing have started to become more sparse and journalists are preparing to leave.
