A Wallsend couple are celebrating 70 years of wedded bliss.
Norma Harrop, 90, and David Harrop, 93 met at a dance in the 1950s, and have been together ever since. Norma was just 14 when they met, got engaged at 18 and the pair were married in their hometown of Crook, County Durham two years later.
The couple moved to Wallsend shortly after being married and lived there for over 60 years. David worked as a coal miner in Wallsend and Norma worked in textiles.
