As the Duchess of Cambridge waited patiently for the first signs of the arrival of her baby tonight there was drama at her family home, Bucklebury Manor.
Firefighters using blue lights rushed through the lanes of the west Berkshire village to the isolated manor house after a 999 call to say that a pet dog on the estate was trapped with its head in a gate.
Fire crews from nearby Newbury and an animal rescue unit from Reading were requested urgently in a frantic call from the Middleton family's £2 million home.
'Our crew got to the manor but were told as they arrived at the gates that the dog, which had got its head stuck, had been freed just a few moments earlier so their services were not needed.
'The animal rescue unit was stood down before it reached Bucklebury and the appliance returned home.' Click link for full post from The Daily Mail.
