John Loughrey, 58, from Wandsworth, south-west London, was among those who spent last night sheltering under a tarpaulin erected in a road opposite the Palace.

"This is history and I'm here to see it," he said.

Mr Loughrey claimed the whole country was "going mad" about Prince George.

"I'm excited, we're all getting excited," he added. "I can't wait."

The giant Christening card

Terry Hutt, 78, from Cambridge, said: "As a parent, we all want our children christened and there's no difference between George and us really.

"What makes it really special is he's a newcomer, he could well be a king one day and, if he follows his father's footsteps, I'm sure between them they will make two good kings."
