A Newcastle couple are celebrating their 70th wedding anniversary on Tuesday 14th March, and they have shared the secrets to a long and happy marriage.
Joe Ridley, 94, and his wife Lillian, 92, first met at a local dance called the 'Tanner Hop' on Stamfordham Road in Westerhope, and were married in 1953, meaning they have now reached their Platinum wedding anniversary.
Joe and Lillian have spoken about their 70 years of marriage, discussing their best and favourite moments, of which their are a lot to choose. They have been able to narrow it down to two main ones, with one coming just last weekend.
