Pauline, Barbara and Susan were treated to a special celebration with family in Trench this weekend - bouncy castle and all.

The trio, who all married, have regularly featured in the pages of the Shropshire Star over the years, with many fascinated at the tale of the Fletcher triplets - born to parents James and Lillian back on March 21, 1955.

They have lived in Telford all their lives, with two in Donnington, and one in Trench.

Triplets Barbara Dabbs, Pauline Brown and Susan Fazay, have been celebrating their 70th birthday.

The party took place at Barbara's home, with her daughter Kelly Simpson, 41, saying it had been an 'amazing' afternoon.

She said her own mum had been overwhelmed when she came home to see everyone gathered for the occasion.

She said: "Mum didn't know and she's been out shopping this morning so when she came round the corner and saw it broke her heart."
