A DIAMOND couple returned to the pub where they met to celebrate 60 years of marriage.

Eric and Nancy Tocknell enjoyed a lunch party with friends and family at The Prince of Wales Inn at Cashes Green.

The couple met in the bar when Eric, now 85, was a clerk at the bus company in Stroud and Nancy, now 83, was a weaver at Longfords Mill in Nailsworth.

Eric, from Westrip, would take the bus regularly to meet Nancy in her home town of Tetbury.

They married at St Mary’s Parish Church in Tetbury on October 15, 1949.

The couple, who are members of the Fellowship Club, now live in Berkeley Close, Cashes Green.

After the party at the pub on Sunday, October 18, a celebration was also held at the Fellowship Club on Thursday, October 22.
