It's many, many, many happy returns for twin sisters Elma and Thelma who celebrate their 103rd birthdays tomorrow.
Born in Cheadle Heath in Stockport on August 3, 1919, Thelma and Elma Edwards went to Alexandra Park Primary School and talk of humble beginnings. Aged not much older than eight, the girls would go down to the railway lines with their older brother Robert to look for loose coal that may have fallen off trains, so they could light the fire. "We didn't have much, we were very poor," they say.
Both women watched their husbands go off to war, and talk of desperately dark times: "We didn't see them for a couple of years," they told me. "We used to go and sleep in the caves at Brinksway when the air raids took place." My dad brought home cowboy hats and police hats," he says. "Friends would come round and we would love to look at them all."
