THE Queen and a Wombwell woman have something in common: they both celebrate two birthdays.
Hilary Stables, 63, from Kitchin Road, thought her birthday was August 31 for 16 years - but after uncovering her birth certificate when moving home, she discovered it was actually one day earlier.
Hilary, who is one of 17 siblings, said: "My siblings just laughed when I found out. I didn't think it was fair, I wanted it to keep it on the 31st, so now I have it twice."

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
