Following the happy news of the birth of Peppa Pig's new baby sister Evie Pig, crowds have been gathering outside the Lindo Wing at St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington hoping to catch a glimpse of the new pink arrival.
A few people had already started to gather over the weekend, close to Mummy Pig's due date, and had even resorted to sleeping in tents on the pavement so they'd have a good view come the time of the blessed event. However it was only following Monday morning's announcement on Good Morning Britain of the baby's arrival, which was marked by a town crier delivering the news and a ceremonial fly-by from the RAF, when the masses really started to assemble. Right now it is believed that over 10,000 are lining the street opposite the hospital hoping for even the merest glimpse of the piglet.
"As everyone knows, the Lindo Wing is considered to be very exclusive" said midwife Mary McCafferty, who asked not to be named.
"All of William and Kate's children were born here after all. However when Mummy and Daddy Pig arrived the other day... well, it's an understatement to say I was starstruck, and I was the one who handled Kate's placenta the third time. Everything went without a hitch, although there was an awkward moment when a nurse offered Daddy Pig a bacon sandwich"
Police have been called in to try and manage the growing crowds, which are swelling by the hour. It has also been reported that Just Stop Oil had planned to stage a protest outside the hospital, however thankfully all activists were arrested and soundly beaten before anything could take place.
A week of celebratory events are planned to mark this momentous news; the King will be giving a televised address on Saturday, Parliament will be debating the idea of making Evie's birthday a public holiday, shops across the country will be selling assorted merchandise from the show as comparatively reasonable prices. It is also rumoured that Boris Johnson will be making a celebratory trip to Peppa Pig World tomorrow.
It is reported Evie's weight is eight bundles of snuggles, although this figure is expected to change once someone gets a hold of some butcher's scales.
