These are the first images of David and Samantha Cameron's four-day-old daughter that were released today.
The pictures, taken by Press Association photographer Stefan Rousseau, feature Florence Rose Endellion Cameron wrapped in a white blanket and being cradled and kissed by the Prime Minister.
Proud father.... Florence was delivered by caesarian section and is the Camerons fourth child
Mrs Cameron and the baby, both said to be doing well, left hospital yesterday and the family are continuing their holiday in Cornwall. It is not clear when they will return to London.
Before Tuesday's surprise early birth Mr Cameron had been expected to return to work after the weekend, but he is now thought to be planning some additional time off as paternity leave.
Her middle name, Endellion, refers to the village of St Endellion on the north Cornish coast, near where the Camerons were staying.
Christine Rashleigh, director of nursing, midwifery and allied health professions at the Royal Cornwall Hospital, said the length of Mrs Cameron's stay - three nights - was 'perfectly normal' after a Caesarean section.
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said yesterday that he would 'just carry on holding the fort' until Mr Cameron returned to work.
Mrs Cameron, 39, has now delivered all four of her children by Caesarean section.
Most research suggests it is safer for women who have had a Caesarean to opt for a surgical birth again next time round.
