A Pontypool family has marked an extraordinary family achievement once more.
The Evans family gathered to celebrate the 90th birthday of their eldest member, Graham Evans, at an event held at the Coach and Horses establishment in Caerwent.
Those present at the April 11 festivities included 65-year-old Stacey, 49-year-old Leon, 24-year-old Maddison, and twin great-great-grandchildren Logan and Otis, who are only five months old.
The family previously hit the headlines in the South Wales Argus 26 years ago when they accomplished this rare distinction.
Stacey Burnett said that having five generations within one family is genuinely wonderful. The great-great-grandparents, who remain lively and well, adore the newest members of the family.
They enjoy holding them, singing to them, and the infants give them added incentive to keep looking forward. Dad looks forward to seeing them begin school.
We are also expecting another great-great-grandson to arrive in June, so we feel incredibly lucky.
During the early 2000s, the family appeared in the Argus when five generations came together to mark two birthdays separated by 86 years.
At that event, family matriarch Mary Evans was marking her 90th birthday, accompanied by three children, three grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren.
Shortly afterwards, her great-grandchild Millie Baxter celebrated her fourth birthday.
Mrs Evans, a former school cook, headed an remarkable line of five generations from Pontypool who were separated by 86 years at that point.
Twenty-six years have elapsed, and the family has now become one of only five generations once more following the birth of twins Logan and Otis, who, according to relatives, are deeply loved.
