The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have received their first visitors after the birth of their son - the duchess's parents, Carole and Michael Middleton. Leaving the hospital after more than an hour, Mrs Middleton told reporters the baby was "absolutely beautiful". It is thought the new family will leave this evening or early on Wednesday. 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. Mrs Middleton mother and baby were "both doing really well - we are so thrilled". She added her first cuddle with her new grandson had been "amazing". Earlier 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, rung for three hours. The Middletons arrived at private Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital, in Paddington, west London, by taxi shortly after 15:00 BST. They were greeted by its lead clinician, Jonathan Ramsay, and paused briefly on the steps for the mass of photographers gathered outside before going inside.  |

Prince William was at the hospital for the birth at 16:24 BST on Monday, and stayed with his wife and son overnight.
Kensington Palace said in a statement: "Mother, son and father are all doing well."
The couple said: "We would like to thank the staff at the Lindo Wing and the whole hospital for the tremendous care the three of us have received.
"We know it has been a very busy period for the hospital and we would like to thank everyone - staff, patients and visitors - for their understanding during this time."
Prince William had earlier said the couple "could not be happier" following the birth of the 8lb 6oz boy.
There has been no word yet on what the couple plan to name the prince.
undreds of members of the public are gathered outside St Mary's Hospital.
And at Buckingham Palace, royal watchers and tourists are queuing in the rain to catch a glimpse of the bulletin announcing the arrival of the royal baby, which is being displayed on an easel.
The news broke about four hours after the birth and the notice is to be displayed for 24 hours, which means it is likely to be removed just after 20:00 BST.
Bandsmen of the Scots Guards outside the palace brought a celebratory feel to the proceedings ahead of the Changing of the Guard, playing a version of Cliff Richard's Eurovision song Congratulations to the crowd.
Fresh from trying to get her photo of the easel, Robyn Holtham, 41, from Oxfordshire, described the birth as fantastic news.
"The Royal Family has been becoming more accessible with Kate and William, people can identify with them. Kate is a more normal person. They're just people who like to have fun and do normal things," she said.

News that Prince William's wife Kate is in labour invigorated the makeshift encampment outside St. Mary's Hospital - a melange of journalists, photographers, curious onlookers and a few die-hard royalists.
Reporters filed updates in a dozen languages outside the Lindo Wing, although no news has emerged since Kate was admitted early Monday. Tourists photographed the plain, 5-story brick building, its front door flanked by four police officers, and snapped the scurrying, coffee-swilling photographers and journalists.
Hutt, who is proud to have met every royal from the late Queen Mother on, said he was doing his bit for Britain by camping outside the hospital in his red, white and blue Union Jack suit, holding flags and congratulatory banners.
"To me, the royal family play a very, very important role," he said. "Visitors from all over the world haven't got a king and queen. It's a plus for us."
As London commuters rushed past the hospital to work, Pascal Faure, a maintenance contractor originally from South Africa, stopped to snap a picture on his phone for friends at home and in Australia.
"It's part of their heritage, I guess, their culture," said Faure, who claimed his own tenuous royal connection: "Apparently my third cousin once removed is Chelsy" Davy, Prince Harry's former girlfriend.
He also had more insight than most into the 5,000-pound ($8,000) -a-night private wing where the Duchess of Cambridge is giving birth. He fixed the air-conditioning there last week - a good thing, too, as Monday is scheduled to be the hottest day of the year in London.
"If the air-con stops working, I'll probably be the one to go in," he said,
Some bystanders were bemused by the scale of the media throng, but many were happy to enjoy the sense of occasion.
"It's probably quite good for the whole country and likewise for the rest of the world," said Matt Hicks, an event manager from Australia's Gold Coast.
"I love the royals - what it's all about, the history behind it," he said. "I know this country is quite divided about it, but back in Australia we love the royals."
Whether a boy or a girl, the baby will be third in line to the British throne. Most bystanders expressed no preference about the baby's gender.
"A girl maybe, if it's as beautiful as Kate," said Katya Im-Albon, a tourist from Switzerland.
