ONE of the best known faces in the RDS Dublin Horse Show is veteran steward Hugh Leonard from Culmullen, Co Meath. 1933 must certainly be marked in red letters seeing as it marked the birth of the Leonard twins, Gretta and Hugh.

It was at Gretta’s home in Creakerstown where a very enjoyable afternoon was spent with the remarkable twins, both enjoying marvellous health and vitality in their 86th year. The remarkable pair reminisced on their up-bringing during the war when almost everything was either rationed or unavailable.
