Posted on January 1, 2008

Eaton Bray couple Frank and Peggy Franklin celebrated 50 years of happy marriage with a Saturday party at Leighton Rugby Club.

Frank and Peggy met while visiting the Stanley Thurston Fun Fair at Wardown Park, Luton, and life's been a merry-go-round ever since.

He proposed in September 1957, she said yes and they were married at Limbury Mead parish church.

The couple have four children, 13 grandchildren and five great children and say the secret of their long and happy marriage is being able to "I'm sorry."

They plan a celebratory cruise sometime in the new year.
