A couple from Croxley Green are celebrating their Diamond wedding anniversary today.

Bernie and Trevor Harry, of Canterbury Way, were married on March 11, 1961, but Covid restrictions mean they will have to mark 60 years of marriage with each other, with family and friends unable to visit them.

One of their daughters Gillian is in Australia, while her sister Paula lives in the Cotswolds.

Gillian said: "It is not really how they wanted to spend their Diamond celebrations, but our lovely friend Karen Taylor from Croxley has been making sure they have shopping and a celebratory dinner and bubbles."

Watford Observer:

Bernie Bowden arrived from Dublin in London at the age of 18 looking for adventure and found love. Trevor had just finished National Service when they met, having served in many places including Hong Kong.
 

The couple have travelled far and wide in their lives but always come back to Croxley Green, where they moved to from Sudbury, Wembley, more than 40 years ago.

Trevor worked at Odhams Printers for 26 years, while his wife was previously a dinner lady at Durrants School
