SHOPPERS at Burnley Asda could be forgiven for thinking they had triple double-vision.

Two sets of triplets, who as newly-born babies helped to open the Princess Way store seven years ago, went back to help celebrate the shop's seventh birthday.

Daniel, Scott and Craig Martin, of Padiham, and Bethany, Jessica and Thomas Horne, of Burnley, were invited to help cut a giant birthday cake. They also released seven balloons, one containing a Golden 7 ticket which the finder can exchange for £50 worth of George vouchers.

Each was then presented with a £20 voucher, as was the Horne triplets' elder brother Joseph -- so that he would not feel left out. Mums Lesley Horne and Paula Martin were presented with bouquets.
