It is an "end of an era" for Norris Green after a local legend has sadly died.
Identical twins Olive Shelbourne and Ruth McCormick were well-known in Norris Green for being the "Broadway pram twins". The war babies, born on New Year's Day in 1944, would walk to the shops every day pushing a pram to carry their shopping.
Being out all day, they would chat to people in the community before returning home with their ECHO newspaper. They were said to be "loved and known" by everyone and brought great joy to the community.

When Ruth died suddenly on February 28, 2010 following a short battle with bone cancer at the age of 66, Olive was undoubtedly devastated. Huge crowds lined the streets to say goodbye to the woman who made everyone smile.
But in February this year, Olive found out she herself had bone cancer, lung and kidney cancer, with the similar symptoms her twin had. In just 12 weeks, she tragically lost her battle and died on June 11 at the age of 79.
Niece Joanne McCormick said: "They were well-known and well loved, just really lovely people. They went out with these prams every day.
"Ollie found it really hard when my mum died to go the shops and that was 13 years ago. A lot of businesses have changed now and probably wouldn't know her but even now I'm still stopped at the shops.
"When the local district nurse came she recognised her instantly, they are still remembered. They were well loved, it's the end of an era.
"They were the first babies born in 1944 and the first twins after the war. They were in a chest of drawers instead of a crib."
Ollie began to experience a cough during the winter months for several weeks and tests soon showed she had lung, bone and kidney cancer as husband Larry said she will be "greatly missed".
Joanne added: "This will be a shock to a lot of people. Everyone knew them, they were caring and always there.
"Ollie was the most amazing person in the world, but get on the wrong side of her or do something naughty. Everyone loved her, they were social butterflies. She met uncle Larry when they were 15 and they've been married 59 years.
"They were identical twins and Ollie was very proud of that. She'd say they were from one egg split in two, whatever one got, the other got. She was more like my second mum, it's a massive blow now she's not here."
Olive's funeral will be held on July 10 at 12pm and it is hoped her cortege will pass by the Broadway shops in her final goodbye before a service at the Ebenezer Chapel.
