Diamond milestone for Belper couple
A HOLIDAY romance turned into a lifetime of happiness for one Belper couple.
Fred and Margaret Parker, of Over Lane, met when they were staying in the same hotel in Blackpool in 1947 and they never looked back.
After 60 years of marriage, which they will celebrate tomorrow, the pair still enjoy going on trips out together.
Margaret and Fred also enjoy playing Scrabble, doing crosswords and cheering on Derby County Football Club together.
The duo, both 82, have two children, five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren on the way.
Margaret, who is originally from North Wingfield, said: "I can't believe it's been 60 years. There's been a lot of give and take.
"We argue but we never go to bed on an argument."
