Special family flight for Tipton twins Lilian and Doris
Beloved Black Country twins Lilian Cox and Doris Hobday were treated to their first ever helicopter ride in honour of Grandparent’s Day.
The Tipton twosome, who have found fame as the oldest identical twins in the UK, embarked on the helicopter ride as part of the Red Letter Days Grandparent’s Day campaign.
For the special trip, Lilian and Doris, both 96, were joined by granddaughter Kerry and great-grandson Brayden.
The trip covered 25 miles over the Black Country and the family were shown all the landmarks of the region from the sky.
The twins said: “This really was an experience of a lifetime. What was even more special, is that we got to experience it with our great-grandson Brayden.”
Dan Mountain, chief executive officer at Red Letter Days, added: “We were delighted to be able to give Lil and Doris an experience that they have always wanted to do, it truly shows that they live life to the full and are ready to take on new experiences.”
