Speak of coincidences! The man on the left's name is Geraint Woolford, age 52. The other's? Well, Geraint Woolford, age 77.
They were both admitted to the hospital on the same night for surgeries, and given the same room, surprising the elder Geraint who was already in the room. Imagine the confusion if someone walked in with your name! Crazier yet, they were the ONLY two people in England with that name!
What else did they share in common? They were both retired, they both were once policemen and they were both were members of their local conservation societies! One was a former president, the younger one was a current vice-president.
With no relation in their family, they managed to become good friends, joking with (and frustrating) the hospital staff as they asked them to double check if it's the right Geraint Woolford. What are the odds of sharing a name? Make that, what are the odds of sharing a name, career, place of volunteering and surgery dates?
