One in a Million
It is estimated that only around 30 couples in the UK celebrate their 70th (platinum) wedding anniversary each year. This rare milestone means reaching seven decades of marriage is a one-in-a-million occurrence, eligible for a special message from The Royal Family.
Our dear friends Eric and Barbara Runcorn will be celebrating this significant and rare milestone in their lives at the beginning of September.
Rev Martin Cox.
