Re: A set of identical triplets have been colour-coded to help teachers tell them apart on their first day in nursery school.
Three-year-olds Ffion, Maddison and Paige Gilbert, are so alike even their parents struggle to know which is which.
Karen and Ian Gilbert used different coloured nail-varnish on their fingers and toes to identify them when they were babies.
Now the couple are using the same colours for their hair bands and bobbles at the nursery where they have just enrolled.

Ffion has fuschia, Maddison has mint and Paige has purple.
