• 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."
