This is the heart-warming moment a pair of previously inseparable twins were able to share a warm hug for the first time in over a year. Minnie Walsh and Patrick Speed, 94, had spent their entire lives together until the pandemic struck. The siblings said they were ‘always together’ and were left heartbroken when they realised they would no longer be able to share a cup of tea.They were shielding in their own homes until Minnie moved into the Meaux unit at Saltshouse Haven care home in Hull, East Yorks., in March this year. Patrick moved into a different unit at the care home a couple of months later, but sadly they were not able to see each other due to the risk of Covid infection. But on Friday (June 11) they were surprised by staff who organised for them to meet for the first time in over a year after they were both fully vaccinated. Patrick, dressed smartly in a flat cap, shirt and jacket, can be seen welling up in the video as he walks towards Minnie who was waiting for him at a table outside.
