By George it's his birthday - six best pictures of the little prince

The nation's favourite toddler turns one today – and is set to celebrate with a party fit for a (future) king.

Prince George, with his chubby cheeks and impeccable dress sense, has won the hearts of the nation ever since he was first debuted to the world outside St Mary's hospital in London a year ago. Already walking, he's good natured – at least in front of the cameras – and is often seen charming the crowds at public events.

To celebrate his first birthday, here are some of our favourite photos of Prince George:
