A pair of devoted identical twins who passed their driving tests on same day, achieved identical school grades, and spent their working lives together are still inseparable aged 74.
Colin and Graham Biggs have been together since before they were born and have done virtually everything together ever since.
They never married or had children and both became carpenters and joiners and were together all their working lives.

The pair have only ever been apart when one was in hospital.
The brothers even lived life side by side.
Remarkably, they passed their driving tests on the same day, achieved identical school grades, and even spent their working lives starting and finishing the same jobs at the same time.
They now live at the same retirement community in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, as reported by Need To Know.
Their lifelong connection is extraordinary.
Graham said: “Nobody can be closer than us, 74 years together.
“What they say about twins is right – the bond is incredible.
“It frightens us sometimes.
“Even to this day we can’t believe it.”
Colin added: “We’re two peas in a pod.
“Same jobs, same holidays, same sports.
“The only time we’ve been apart was when one was in hospital.”
Both brothers played for Tewkesbury Cricket Club, where teammates could only distinguish them by their unique batting stances.
They represented Gloucestershire in badminton too.
Years later, they were among only three pairs of male twins invited to a prestigious 25th Anniversary Twins Gathering at St Thomas Hospital in London – an event that brought together 700 sets of twins, setting a world record.
The pair have also been involved in helping medical research into twins at St Thomas Hospital too.
There are slight differences though as Colin is more forward and takes the lead in decision-making.
Graham did say both of them regretted never getting married.
He added: “We were always together so never had time for girlfriends.
“We had sport in our minds.
“But I regret that now.”
