United Kingdom’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson and fiancee Carrie Symonds have named their baby boy Wilfred Lawrie Nicholas Johnson in honour of their grandfathers and doctors who saved the UK leader's life when he was hospitalised with Covid-19.

Symonds made the announcement on her Instagram page on Saturday, posting a picture of her cradling her 3-day-old son and explaining the name choice.

The birth came just days after Johnson returned to work following his hospitalisations for the coronavirus. He spent a week at London's St Thomas' hospital, including three nights in intensive care.
