COUPLES celebrating wedding anniversaries will be able to share the secrets of a long and happy marriage at a service at Ripon Cathedral later this year.

Blessings and thanksgiving are part of the event, held a number of times over the past few years, which attract hundreds of couples from across the region.

Anyone marking a golden, diamond or platinum wedding is welcome from 3pm on Sunday, June 15, regardless of where they exchanged their vows.

Further information is available from The Reverend Peter Dodson, who can be contacted by post at The Chapter House, Ripon Cathedral, Ripon, North Yorkshire HG4 1PE or by telephoning (01765) 602053.
