Cambridge icons to turn blue to celebrate its Prince

23 July 2013
Cambridge's Town Hall and Clock Tower will be lit with blue lights tonight to celebrate the birth of the royal baby, who will have the title of Prince of Cambridge.

Cambridge is one of dozens of locations around New Zealand that will be lit in blue to celebrate the birth of the prince, who is third in line to the British throne.

Monarchy New Zealand has arranged for a number of Kiwi landmarks to be lit up, including the Sky Tower in Auckland, the Victoria Bridge in Hamilton and the corrugated iron dog in Tirau.

The royal baby, who is yet to be named was born at 4.24am today, New Zealand time, and weighed 8 pounds, 6 ounces (3.8 kilograms).
