The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are receiving their first visitors after the birth of their son – the duchess’s parents, Carole and Michael Middleton. The couple earlier thanked hospital staff for their “tremendous” care. It is understood the family will leave hospital on Tuesday evening or on Wednesday morning. Gun salutes in Green Park and the Tower of London and the ringing of bells at Westminster Abbey have marked the birth of the third in line to the throne. The King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery fired a 41-gun salute in Green Park at 14:00 BST, after riding past Buckingham Palace. At the same time, the Honourable Artillery Company – the City of London’s army reserve regiment – fired a 62-gun salute from Gun Wharf at the Tower of London. Meanwhile, the church bells of Westminster Abbey, where William and Catherine were married in April 2011, began ringing out – a celebration set to last for three hours.
