‘The secret to 70 years? We just get on’
A husband and wife from Hull say pure love has kept them together through 70 years of marriage.
Harry Brumhead, 92, and his wife Rose, 89, who are celebrating their platinum wedding anniversary, met through friends when they were just 19 and 17 and were married on 6 August 1955.
The couple, who have three children, seven grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren, say there is no secret to their long, happy marriage but put it down to “getting on” together.
‘The response has been amazing’
Elizabeth Baines / BBCSisters Katrina Heseltine and Michaela Midgley from Leeds were left “heartbroken” when they discovered their stables had been stolen earlier this month.
But after receiving donations and support from around the world they say they have been “totally overwhelmed”.
A donations page set up to help replace the stolen structure and goods has raised nearly £2,500.
‘Award is dream come true’

Known to his large online following as The Hull Boy because of his love of Hull City FC, Marcus became the youngest person to run the entire length of Britain in June, raising more than £160,000.
He described winning as “a dream come true”.
Veteran receives freedom of Harrogate
Olivia Richwald/BBCA 102-year-old woman who is believed to be one of the first British servicewomen to enter the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp at the end of World War Two has been granted the freedom of Harrogate.
Sheila Pantin was sent to Bergen-Belsen, near Hanover in Germany, to look after women and children who had been liberated from the camp in June 1945.
She had signed up to join the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS), the women’s branch of the British Army, at the age of 17 and worked as a fitness training instructor and driver.
