SCHOOLGIRL Jessica Hall marked her 11th birthday on the 11th day of the 11th month in 2011.

Jessica, of Reading Road, Northolt, said she would be remembering family members who serve in the armed forces as well as celebrating the day with friends.

“It feels very special,” she said. “My mum’s uncle was a staff sergeant in the military police in the army.”

Her mother, Vikki Howick said Jessica, who attends Wood End Academy in Vernon Rise, Northolt, suited having a birthday on such a memorable date, adding: “She’s definitely one to remember.

“She was born at nine minutes past nine in the morning. It’s a shame it wasn’t 11 past 11. But this is quite extraordinary, the odds of it happening are pretty high.”
