More about this scene
The only thing twin-like about these children is the very bad-tempered scowl on their faces. They certainly are not saying 'cheese'. Perhaps they didn't like the photographer - or it might be the fact that they are sitting on a rock covered in wet seaweed. They have recently been identified as twin boys, Matthew and Robert Peart.
