We met at darts match – and now we've hit our treble 20!

Cyril, 84, had many jobs throughout his working life, including a stint as a lorry driver and a pest control officer. He also had a small pig farm in Beaumanor Road, Belgrave.
A hosiery factory worker for most of her life, Jean, 82, also ran The Great Northern Inn, in Victoria Road East, Humberstone, with her husband.
"I don't think they have a secret to their long marriage – they just sort of get on with things, " said Gail. "They like the same things in life, and still like to go out and socialise together."
