Meet Britain's oldest men; Robert Weighton and Alfred Smith, Both Celebrated 109th Birthday on same day

-
It is an impressive feat, to reach and attained the glorious age of 100. Becoming Britain's oldest man quite another.

Imagine then discovering that a fellow centenarian at the other end of the country is not only the same age but also shares the same birthday!



For Bob Weighton, born in March 1908 when Edward VII was King, that is exactly what happened.

Two years ago he saw a story about Alfred Smith, from Perth in Scotland, and sent him a letter.

Today, the pair both celebrated their 109th birthday.

Mr Weighton said: "I saw a story about him and saw we were both the same age and shared the title of oldest man, so I sent a letter to him. We send each other cards now on our birthday."

The secret to such longevity? "I haven't the slightest idea," said Mr Weighton, originally from Hull.
