A COUPLE who enjoyed a wartime wedding in a blacked out church have celebrated 60 years of marriage this week.
Walter and Dorothy Adams, of Wordsworth Avenue, marked their diamond wedding anniversary on Tuesday, 60 years after they tied the knot at St James' Church in Latchford.
And because they were married during wartime, the windows in the church were blacked out and Dorothy had to make the icing sugar for the wedding cake by grinding granulated sugar.
Walter, who used to work at Crosfields, and Dorothy, a housewife, honeymooned in the Isle of Man.
Walter, aged 83, and Dorothy, aged 80, had a party at the Daresbury Park Hotel on Sunday with family members from as far afield as Canada, where their daughter and son-in-law Lynn and Bill live. And they received a special telegram from the Queen to mark the occasion.
The couple, who have lived in Warrington for most of their lives, have a son and a daughter, Keith and Lynn, as well as seven grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
