Two sisters from Sussex who were separated as babies have been reunited after spending 64 years apart.

Jennifer Fellingham and Diane Haggar, who found each other using the internet, met each other's families at a reunion in Brighton.

The sisters, who were born in Brighton were adopted by different families - one family in Brighton, the other in Chichester.

They are now trying to trace their half brother who moved to Australia in 1949.

Oh that's wonderful Brian, thank you for sharing :))

I'm still searching for many, have found one long-lost adopted half-sister (call her sis) after more than 50 years who had no idea I existed.

We've met and it was as though we had known each other all our lives.

Gosh, they'll have so much 'catching up' to do, piccies taken too, am pleased for them, truly I am and how I hope they find their brother too. Gives us all hope doesn't it.
