Brian and Sheila Hill first met in 1958 when they would regularly go dancing at the Adelphi in West Bromwich and got married 17 months later at St Phillips' Church.

Brian's eldest brother Len, who turned 90 in April, was best man at the wedding and he repeated the favour on Saturday as the happy couple renewed their vows at St Thomas' Church, Huntington, close to where they now live.

The date was almost 63 years to the day of their first wedding and just three days before Brian's 86th birthday today.
