One hundred and three year old twin sisters Elma and Thelma celebrated their birthday in style with a suprise party and a VIP visit from the mayor of Stockport, David Wilson.
The two sisters warmed Manchester Evening News readers hearts with the story of their pending birthdays as we took a look back over their long and colourful lives.
The pair were shocked and delighted when a party in their honour was thrown by family and friends in Thelma's back garden on the big day itself, complete with a gazebo, balloons and a few surprise visitors.
