London, March 05 (ANI): UK Prime Minister David Cameron and his wife Samantha have christened their youngest child.
Ninety guests attended the 45-minute ceremony at St Mary Abbots Church in Kensington.
Florence Rose Endellion Cameron’s cousin Pandora Rycroft was also baptised during the ceremony, which was conducted by Fr Gillean Craig and Fr Gareth Wardell.
It is thought that Education Secretary Michael Gove and his wife, journalist Sarah Vine, were among Florence’s godparents.
The church, a short trip from the Prime Minister’s residence in Downing Street, was where the Camerons’ son Arthur Elwen was christened in 2007.
Both he and sister Nancy attend the church school.
“The family are involved in the life of the church and the school,” the Daily Mail quoted Fr Craig as saying.
“We were absolutely delighted to be able to baptise Florence alongside her cousin. It was a very splendid family occasion,” Fr Craig added.(ANI)
