A CARE home came to a standstill as staff, family and friends celebrated a resident's diamond wedding anniversary.
Sheila Boyce, 81, who lives at Hallsteads in Grimethorpe and husband Peter, 86, of Eastfield Crescent, Staincross, marked the occasion with a party at the home.
Sheila, a former Yorkshire Traction conductress and Peter, who used to work for the British Road Services, met at the Tracky Club in Barnsley and became smitten as soon as their eyes met.
Although the pair no longer live together, Peter visits Sheila every day and says the secret to their success is to simply laugh and enjoy each other's company.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
