Those still wanting to see the ornate easel holding the framed A4 statement confirming the birth of the new Prince of Cambridge on the forecourt of Buckingham Palace only have a few hours left to do so.

A Buckingham Palace official said it will be on show for around 24 hours after confirmation of the birth, meaning it is unlikely to be there much after 8pm today.
