There's always frenzied excitement when the arrival of a royal baby is imminent and 21 April 1926 was no different.
Even though it was the early hours of the morning and pouring with rain, a small crowd stood on the pavement outside 17 Bruton Street in Mayfair, London, desperately waiting for news.
Finally, at 2.40 am, the new royal was delivered by Caesarean section – and a short while later the imposing front door swung open and the long-awaited announcement was made, causing the crowd to roar with delight.
