Twelve-year-olds celebrate their third 'actual' birthday

Jade and Jordan Murkett, of Lamp Acres, Shaw, were due to be born in April 2000 but their mother, Jane, was diagnosed with liver failure and they had to be born six weeks early on February 29.
And today (Wednesday) they will be celebrating their third offical birthday, as will 12-year-old Alfie Weatherhead (pictured right), of Kintbury.
The pupil of Park House School, Newbury, will be celebrating his birthday with a day’s paintballing with friends.
