England have

Britain's oldest twins have today both received telegrams from the Queen.

May and Marjorie Chavasse celebrated their 100th birthday with a joint birthday party.

Among the guests were four generations of their family.

They included five-year old William and Vivian Hall - the first twins to be born in the family since Marjorie and May.

The chances ofidenticaltwins both living beyond the age of 100 are about one in 700 million.

But the Chavasse twins were said to be determined from an early age to reach 100.

Neither sister married but both had distinguished careers.

Marjorie worked for the Dr Barnados charity setting up children's homes.

May became a nurse and cared for wounded soldiers in France during World War I.

She subsequently received a military honour for her work.

Marjorie still lives in her own home in Windsor, Berkshire while May lives in a home for retired nurses in Buckinghamshire.

About 400 people marched through Windsor town centre in protest at the police action.

Several festival-goers claimed the police had acted brutally.

David Stafford, 22, from Haywards Heath in Sussex said the police were arresting people at random.

"I don't know why the police got so violent. People were being thrown into police vans for no reason," he said.

Mr Holdsworth said any complaints about police behaviour would be investigated.
