TWO former shopkeepers are celebrating their diamond wedding anniversary.

George and Jean Gillis, from Moorbank View, Wombwell, are celebrating on Thursday.

Together, they ran Gillis's general store on Garden Street, Darfield, for 42 years before retiring in 2000.

George, 86, and Jean, 83, first met rollerskating in Darfield at the site of the now Fishing Republic shop on Snape Hill Road.
