Twins see double at birthday bash

Young twins cut a birthday cake to mark the occassion

Hundreds of twins have gathered in Berkshire to mark the 30th anniversary of the Twins and Multiple Births Association (TAMBA).

Reading Twins Club held its annual summer party at Beale Park on Sunday to coincide with the occassion.

Two birthday cakes were cut by the oldest and youngest pair of twins in attendance.

Janet Avdiu, mum of babies Tom and Dan, said: "It's hard work but I wouldn't change it."

Lisa Kelly of the Reading Twins Club, said the organisation helped battle negativity.

"It's really difficult when you first have twins," she said.

"Everyone is really negative about it - double trouble.

"That does make it hard but we support each other."

Reading Twins Club was formed 15 years ago to support parents of multiples.
