DIAMOND couple Margaret and Stan Ainsworth celebrated 60 years of marriage last week with a slap-up meal with their family.
The couple, who live in Tiverton Drive, Blackburn, met at a party in 1946 and quickly began to see more and more of each other.
They ‘courted’ for two years before Stan had to relocate to Scotland for national service.
Margaret said: “He came home to see me whenever he could and we used to write letters. We wrote to each other everyday and then when he came home we arranged to get married.”
They went on to have two children, Mark, 56 and Lynne, 58 and are now proud grandparents and great grandparents.
