A Nuneaton couple who are both 96 are preparing to celebrate their 73rd wedding anniversary on Saturday 10 October.

Their granddaughter, Alana Gadsby, shared the milestone with Nuneaton Gazette, along with a family photograph.

She said both grandparents have lived in Nuneaton throughout their lives and still live together in the home her grandfather built for them.

According to Alana, the couple met when they were 18 and became engaged before her grandfather served in the British Army in the years following the Second World War.

Now, more than seven decades after their wedding, their family is celebrating another anniversary together.
