A couple from Wakefield who are celebrating 70 years of marriage have received their second royal seal of approval.
Doreen, 91 and Leo, 90, Kelly, celebrated 70 years of marriage this month (February 20), after first meeting in the early 1950s at a dance in Miner's Welfare Hall in Crigglestone, Wakefield, which they both reluctantly attended.
They received a letter from King Charles and Queen Camilla congratulating them on the milestone, 10 years after being sent one from the late Queen.
