A look-a-like mum and daughter have graduated from the same university on the same day - but it's almost impossible to tell there's an age gap between them.
Suzanne Isaac, 57, donned her cap and gown to graduate from the same university as her daughter Melissa, 22.
And the duo look so alike that people mistake them for sisters - despite the 35-year age gap .
Suzanne said: "We have people thinking that we are sisters - very flattering for me but I'm not sure what Melissa thinks of it.
"As she has grown up she is getting more like me."

The glam mum-of-two began her part-time degree course when Melissa was 16 - and was delighted to get a first in psychology and sociology at Swansea University .
Her daughter, who graduated with a 2.1 in English Language, took a year out after school to go travelling before starting her studies.
But the pair, of Sketty, Swansea, had no idea they would end up graduating on the same day.
Suzanne's mum Joyce Hughes, 91, was there to see the celebrations - and also shares the youthful genes.
Suzanne, who is a children’s orthopaedic physiotherapy assistant, said: "It must be good genes.
"We haven't had any work done either so I can brag about that.
"I wasn't even sure I wanted to go to the ceremony but as soon as I found out it was the same day as Melissa then I had to go.
"We had no idea whatsoever that we would end up graduating on the same day."
Melissa's brother Liam, 29, and dad Carl, 53, a mechanical engineer, were also there to celebrate the graduation day.

Melissa said: "It was a bit weird graduating with Mum. It was fabulous and we both thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.
"She has been a total inspiration. We often get told we're alike, our mannerisms are very similar.
"She's amazing for her age, no one ever believes she's quite as old as she is so - and yes we do get told we look like sisters."
