MORE than 50 children crammed into a community hall to celebrate the Moss-Carbert quads' sixth birthday.

The Darlington quads - Simon, Jonpaul, Hannah and Adam, pictured - were joined by family, friends and fellow pupils from Corporation Road Infants School.

Their mother, Theresa Moss-Carbert, organised a two-hour party for the children's friends at Bowen Road hall yesterday.

But the quads, whose birthday is today, had to wait until this morning to open the presents from their parents.

Mrs Moss-Carbert said: "The children were really excited on Sunday and were really looking forward to the party. They had a great time."

The six-year-olds became television stars in June when they appeared in a half-hour programme, Amazing Babies.

Theresa and husband, Paul, told how they had almost given up hope of having children after trying for 11 years.
