Kenneth and Margery left and on their wedding day, 27 February 1943, right.
Teenage sweethearts Kenneth, now 90, and Margery Owen, 91, from Hall Green, Birmingham, have survived them all to celebrate their platinum wedding anniversary, marking 70 years together - and they've lived in the same home for 66 of them.The pair were engaged for a year before getting married on 27 February 1943, at St John’s Church, Sparkhill, but just weeks before their wedding a Nazi bomb strike demolished Margery's family home.The couple have two daughters and one son, nine grandchildren and are thrilled to have welcomed the next generation into the family with the arrival of three great-grandchildren. When asked for the secret to a long and happy marriage, Ken said: 'I’ve been racking my brains over that one for years. It comes naturally. I found the right one, that’s for sure. I honestly think the world of her and, you know, I think she thinks a lot of me.
