Twin brothers who were born just before the outbreak of the Second World recently celebrated their 83rd birthday. Tony and Peter Rogers were born and raised in a two up two down house and have remained close to one another.
The brothers, from Cheshire, even worked together as painters and decorators in the county's famous Grosvenor Hotel. Peter had already worked there for 24 years prior to his first 'retirement'.
There they were affectionately known as "the decorating twins" and even featured in a special Grosvenor Hotel magazine produced for guests. While at the Grosvenor, they often caused confusion among staff and guests, including Stars in their Eyes host Matthew Kelly, Cheshire Live reports.
