    Anita Milford widowed after 81yrs of marriage, as husband Frank dies.

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...-dies-101.html

    One half of the longest married couple in Britain has died after 81 years of wedded bliss.

    Frank Milford, 101, held the hand of his wife Anita, also 101, as he passed away at the residential home where they lived.

    The devoted pair met at a YMCA dance in Plymouth in 1926.
    [...]

    They married on May 26, 1928 at Torpoint Register Office in Cornwall - the year the first £1 note came into circulation and Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin.

    After the ceremony, they saw a Charlie Chaplin film at the cinema.

    They survived two German bombs in the Blitz in Plymouth during the Second World War - one of them fell on their house.






    81yrs? Jeez, they were married longer than a lot of people live!

    RIP Frank.

    I just have no idea what I would do to my husband if I have to live with him for 81 years. The 18 years we've been together already seem like lifetime...J/k

    I always watch when older people walk hand in hand. It makes me happy to see them so advanced in age and still shows some affection. RIP Frank

    I love seeing older couples, still devoted to one another. There is something special about them....
