Today is our wedding anniversary, the 50th or Golden, and my wife and I started the day in style with smoked salmon and champagne.

Tonight we are dining with our family to celebrate.

Just to amuse you, here is a picture of Jan and I at our wedding all those years ago outside Poplar Town Hall in London’s East End. My wife is as gorgeous today as she was then. As for my thick black hair, I still have a little, but not where I can show you!

Thanks to everyone who has wished us well and sent us presents.

Now for the next 50 years!

And here’s a picture taken today of us enjoying ourselves.

Can’t quite work out why my wife looks 20 years younger than me!
