Little Brandon Jay Aranda is oblivious to the excitement surrounding his birth as he nestles in dad, Jaimie's arms.

Born at 4.19pm on Monday, July 22nd, he shares his birth date with the new Royal Prince, the son of Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Kate and William. Weighing in at seven pounds 14 and a half ounces Brandon is a very contented baby.

The whole family is very excited that he was born on the same day as the Royal baby.

Grandmother, Elaine, said it was surreal when she watched the news as they talked about the county's excitment for the new baby.

Brandon's auntie, Josie visited from London on Tuesday but spent some time on Monday at the hospital where Kate was in labour. Josie was interviewed by an Italian TV station and told them her sister-in-law was also in labour and that it was a very exciting day for everybody.
