A COUPLE will have their 60-year marriage blessed on Thursday in special Diamond Wedding celebrations.
Betty and Bill Landers, of Rydal Street, Leigh, were married on September 14, 1940, and both worked at BICC - "but that's not where we met!"
Their marriage took place at Our Lady of the Rosary, Plank Lane.
The couple, who have a daughter, three grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren, now attend Sacred Heart, Leigh, where the blessing will take place.
