Couple celebrate 75th wedding anniversary

One of central Scotland’s oldest couples are celebrating a rare 75th wedding anniversary today.

When John, 97, and Annie Henderson, 95, of Bo’ness tied the knot, Winston Churchill was prime minister, the film Bambi was released and Stephen Hawking was born.

Married on 1 August 1942, their relationship became long distance when John was posted to the Mediterranean while serving in the Royal Navy during the Second World War. The pair celebrated their remarkable anniversary with family and friends at the Barleystone Care Home.
