A couple are celebrating their Platinum anniversary after an extraordinary 70 years of marriage.
Pat and William Lawrence were married on June 7, 1952 and were “schoolyard sweethearts”. They both went to Stonebridge Lane Council Senior School and lived round the corner from each other in West Derby before getting married aged 21 and 22.
Pat, 91, and Bill, 92, suffer from dementia and live in Westhaven care home in Hoylake, Wirral. They moved there in February after living in Wirral for 63 years. The care home was one of the few that allowed them to stay with each other.
