A four-year-old boy has made headlines for attending his first day at school.

The boy, known as George Alexander Louis, was pictured walking to the doors of Thomas’ prep school in Battersea with his father.

A woman, presumably a teacher, met the child and appeared to accept that he could enter the building, which charges nearly £18,000 a year.

The achievement was met with rapture on Twitter.

Crazy the amount of coverage Prince George is getting from the media over his 1st day at school

Is he the first kid to start school then?

I'm working from home with BBC News on, so I get hourly reports on what Prince George looked like on his first day at school. #journalism

Many supported the high priority given to the breakthrough by the media.

Why is 'Prince George is starting school' number 1 most read above Hurricane Irma?

It is now expected that the child will continue to attend the school every day until he reaches the age at which he leaves.
