A D-Day veteran and his great-grandson share a birthday a century apart. Ken Hobbs celebrated his 100th birthday on Sunday, February 12, surrounded by his friends and family – except his granddaughter, Stephanie Baldwin.
Mrs Baldwin started feeling contractions on Friday and gave birth to Sonny at 7.57pm on Sunday, meaning he was born 100 years to the day after his great-grandfather.
The 34-year-old said: “It’s just unbelievable and amazing how it’s all turned out. My grandad is the rock of our family and I’m so proud of him.
