'Worth The Wait' For Crowds The crowds had grown enormously since the news of the Duchess of Cambridge's labour was announced. Many people knew they would not get a good view of the Royal couple and their new son but told Sky News they just wanted to be here for the historic moment. The footbridge over the road from the Lindo Wing at St Mary's Hospital was full to bursting with staff and fans, many waving union flags. The Royal Couple speak to the media The sea of ladders used by the world's media meant there was not much of a view but whoops and cheers went up when Prince William and wife Kate finally emerged. They did leave everyone hanging on a bit. But it was worth the wait. The crowds said how beautiful Kate looked and called her a 'yummy mummy'. William said his son has a 'good pair of lungs on him' William was also praised for his quick quips and relaxed air. Speaking about his as-yet unnamed son, he joked: "He's got a good pair of lungs on him, that's for sure. Some hardcore royal family fans have been waiting here for over a week. But John Loughrey, who has slept on a hospital bench for eight days, said it was "the best day of his life!"
