Twins celebrate 100th birthday as they spent century together.Meet probably the world’s oldest twin sisters who have celebrated their 100th birthdays thus reaching a combined age of 200 years!
Irene Crump and Phyllis Jones were born 25 minutes
apart on November 20, 1916, since then they were almost inseparable. The girls
went to the same schools, had the same first job at a porcelain company and
even now they live under one roof in Stourport, Worcestershire, UK.
he sisters marked their special day in the bosom of the family and friends and cresited their longevity to “hard work and good food”. The kind hearted twins didn’t ask for presents, instead they request their loved ones to donate to the local air ambulance. Irene Crump and Phyllis Jones aged 4 with their older sister Dorothy, who lived into her 90s but died a few years ago Irene, the younger of the siblings, said: “We didn’t want presents, we just wanted donations. We haven’t got all the money in yet but we think we’ve done pretty well, it’s a cause close to our heart. We often celebrate our special birthdays together, and we had a lovely day. We celebrated our 90th together, and last year we celebrated our 99th birthday too. Hard work and good food is our secret, that’s all I can put it down to.
