It read:

He proposed to her in Stoughton Recreation ground and they were war time sweethearts before Stan and Florry Blay, of School Close, Guildford, were able to marry 60 years ago.

The happy couple, both 82 years old, celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary on Thursday 19 May, and were due to have been whisked off for a surprise lunch on Sunday by their adopted children.

They met at Westborough Youth Club when they were only 16 and Stan was working in the local Co-op store, and romance quickly blossomed between the two, with Stan proposing three years later.

However, fate intervened when Stan was called up to join the army and fight in the Second World War.

While Florry did her bit at home with the war effort and waited for her true love to return home. Stan travelled all over the world with the army and finally ended up as a prisoner of war in Italy.

He made it safely back to Britain in 1945 and Florry said she was delighted to hear that he was home.

"He sent me a telegram from Scotland telling me to go straight to the church and put the banns up" she said.

They were married in Stoke Church shortly after with their friends and family in attendance.

In the following years, Stan took up a job st Stoughton barracks where he worked for 40 years, as well as being a part-time sub officer for Guildford Fire service. And the couple remained involved with their local church and community.

They adopted two children - from Barnado's, and now they have four grandaughters, and a grandson. "We couldn't have a party at our house to celebrate our anniversary because we have such a big family, so our daughter is putting on a party on the 28th of this month" said Florry.

Regarding the secret to such a long, happy marriage, she said: "You have to be able to understand how things change and be willing to adapt to each other - It's about give and take."1 Her husband Stanley died on April 2018 in Surrey, England.
