THE world’s first surviving all-female sextuplets celebrated their 25th birthday yesterday with a quiet, close-knit family party.

The Walton sisters from Wallasey were born by caesarean section at Liverpool’s Oxford Street women’s hospital on November 1983.

Parents Graham and Janet Walton were on their 13th attempt at fertility treatment when the six girls were conceived.

Now their daughters Hannah, Luci, Ruth, Sarah, Kate and Jennifer are celebrating their 25th birthday with a family party at the eight-bedroom home where they grew up in Wallasey, Merseyside.

The Waltons haven’t made any drastic changes to their lifestyle apart from replacing the minibus they used to ferry their daughters with an eight-seater people-carrier.

It features the number plate J6 MUM, and cele-brates the fact they still all live in the same eight-bedroom house on Wirral.

Mother Janet Walton, 55, said: “Now my daughters are all 25, we are going to have a small get-together round at our house.

“We’re flattered that they missed home so much they wanted to come back and we like to think it’s not entirely for economic reasons.

“We have had separate parties for the girls in the past to make them feel special but we have decided to celebrate this one altogether.”
