DIAMOND couple Fred and Edith Pendlebury marked their 60th wedding anniversary yesterday.
The couple, of Meadow Crescent, Grimethorpe, will toast the occasion with a family get-together which will also be a joint celebration as it’s Edith’s 80th birthday.
Fred, 81, is originally from Barnsley but met his wife in County Durham when he was in the army.
He worked as a bus driver, while Edith was a factory worker.
The couple have four children - Roy, Janette, Stefan and Robert - as well as nine grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.
Roy said: “They love spending time together whether it’s at bingo or on holiday.
“They went to Australia in February for their main anniversary present but we’ll be having a family party this weekend.”
