Party leaders spent the last Saturday of the campaign wooing voters and firing up supporters.
The Conservatives unveiled a “pensioners’ manifesto” which they claimed would ensure “dignity and security in retirement”.
David Cameron said new analysis shows the state pension will hit £7000 a year by 2019 under his triple-lock policy that ensures annual increases are never lower than inflation.
He said: “I have a simple view that if you have done the right thing worked, saved and paid your taxes you should be rewarded, not punished.”
Meanwhile Labour’s Ed Miliband encouraged his supporters to make a final push to persuade voters to back him.
At a rally in central London that featured endorsements from celebrities including Harry Potter actor Jason Isaacs, snooker star Ronnie O’Sullivan and Lily Savage star Paul O’Grady, Miliband dubbed the Conservatives “a clear and present danger to family finances” claiming they would cut welfare.
He added: “We have five days to save tax credits and child benefit.”
Ukip chief Nigel Farage ordered his supporters to take an hour off in the morning and make for the nearest pub to toast the arrival of the Royal baby as he did in Ramsgate.
Campaigning in his own Sheffield constituency, Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg dismissed the threat that Labour will unseat him on Thursday.
He accused Labour of trying to “barge in” to the area and added: “It’s not going to happen.”
In Scotland, the leaders took to the road with Willie Rennie touring the Highlands along with Danny Alexander and Charles Kennedy in an open-top vintage car while the Scottish Conservatives’ Ruth Davidson tried to catch the voters eye in an old-fashioned Volkswagen Beetle.
Jim Murphy was joined by former PM Gordon Brown on a walkabout at Braehead shopping centre.
