Two elderly best friends who’d lost touch for 70 years have been reunited after moving to the same care home – in a complete coincidence. The pair – who were childhood best friends – recognised each other straight away despite having spent seven decades apart. The friends both grew up in Eccleshall, Staffordshire, but Eileen later moved to the village of Brewood – which resulted in the pair losing touch. But 70 years later, the once-inseparable schoolgirls now spend their days causing mischief in their care home. "The day I got married was the best day of my life – it honestly was,” Eileen says.
