Every day devoted Don Hurst, 87, carries his ancient Sony CD player into his wife’s care home to “have a little sing and a dance” with his beloved Winnie.
They met in a dance hall 64 years ago and had not spent a night apart until former nurse Winnie, 80, had to move into a care home 22 months ago.
Her Alzheimer’s had become too severe to safely stay with Don in their home in Liverpool. But last month Don was told Winnie’s care home, a 10-minute drive from him, was to close down.
