The Orbit - 1 Year On

"We lit up the flame, we lit up the world" ~~ Lord Coe (Chair of the London 2012 Organizing Committee)

It seems strange to think that one year, one day ago the Olympic Stadium in London was igniting with excitement of the world riding on it. It was only last night I was watching the Opening Ceremony on BBC 3, it even was trending on twitter, something that I never thought would happen one year on. So here it is, the Orbit done in watercolors.

Royal Baby: The Birth

Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge gave birth to a future King on Monday (22nd July). She waited out the last few days of her pregnancy at Kensington Palace before she was admitted by car to the Lindo Wing at St Mary's Hospital, Paddington at around 6am BST on Monday in the early stages of labour. The world's press then waited out the last few hours as Kate gave birth naturally to, what was later announced as a new Prince. At around 8pm Monday 22nd July the birth was announced, that Kate had given birth to a son at 4.24 pm weighing in at 8lbs 6oz. Royal officials then brought a signed notice by Kate's doctors which was brought to the forecourt of Buckingham Palace for the eyes of the nation and it's press.

In a typically British fashion people then queued to take a glimpse of the Royal declaration before it was removed 24 hours after the birth was announced (roughly 8pm Tuesday BST). Also on Tuesday at around 5:30pm Kate and William was visited by Prince Charles and the Middleton's. Carole said that her first cuddle with her first grandson was "amazing" Kate was later discharged at around 7pm Tuesday. She then, along with her husband made their first public appearance since the birth of their first child on the steps of the Lindo Wing. They presented their son wrapped in a white shawl as they both answered a few questions from the press who had been camped outside the hospital since the beginning of the month. William joked that he had "a good pair of lungs on him that's for sure" and when he was asked about how much hair the baby had he replied "he's got alot more than me thank god!" He also acknowledged how long the press had been waiting to catch a glimpse of the royal baby and he said "I'll remind him of his tardiness when he is a bit older". It was believed that Kate was around one week overdue. The couple then went back inside before placing the baby in the car seat. The couple along with the baby then made a reappearance before placing the baby into the royal car and William drove off to Kensington Palace.

The new family spent the first night away from the hospital at Kensington Palace. Earlier today they also had a visit from the Queen before the new family headed to K

 HRH Prince George of Cambridge 

ate's family home in Bucklebury, Berkshire. Once the new family had returned to Bucklebury the name was announced two days after the birth as George Alexander Louis. This goes against royal tradition of giving royal babies four names, rather than the latest who has three. The baby prince will be known as Prince George of Cambridge
