Their wedding night did not get off to the best start - but 60 years on this couple have celebrated their diamond wedding annyversary. On the evening of Jack and Betty Greathead's big day they had to make their way to the local shelter after two air raids. When they returned to their room, they were woken by an air raid warden as there was a light peeking through thier curtains.
