A couple who has just celebrated their 75th wedding anniversary says their love for each other is stronger than ever, with the pair having stuck together through 'good times, bad times and very bad times'.
Derek and Jean Heywood, both 96, have marked their diamond wedding anniversary this week at Brinnington Hall Care Home, Stockport where they now live together and say they 'are happy together and always have been'.
The couple first locked eyes at a dance at Stockport's Great Moor Conservative club, where the then 19-year-old Jean had been enjoying a work night out. At that point, Derek was still in the army, based on the south coast, but had stopped by the club whilst visiting family in Hazel Grove.
