Belgian twins celebrate 103 years living side by side
To this day, they barely leave each others side, sharing a room at their nursing home just outside the Belgian town of Ghent.
While they sometimes regret not having had any children or grandchildren, they say they are each others best friends and celebrated their birthday with a glass of French red wine.
After their long careers as court magistrates in the middle of the 20th century, the elegantly-dressed 103-year-olds prefer speaking French and being addressed as "Pierre and Paul".
