A DIAMOND wedding was celebrated in style by a devoted couple.
As well as their large family, Bob and Lily Davison were joined by friends from Moor Grange residential home, Spennymoor, to mark 60 years of marriage.
Although Bob, 84, moved into Moor Grange in August 1999, 80-year-old Lily is never far away, and often takes in cakes and biscuits as a treat for staff and residents.
They married at Whitworth Church, and lived at Page Bank for the early years of their life together when Bob worked at Whitworth Colliery.
After spending two years at Willington, they moved to Spennymoor and have lived there ever since.
They have twin sons, Bob and Billy, a daughter, Julia Waters, ten grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.
Julie Parkin, residential manager at Moor Grange, said: "Bob and Lily are a lovely couple.
"We wish them both the very best on their special day."
