GOLDEN couple Leslie and Alwyn Weston celebrated 50 years of wedded bliss yesterday.

The pair, who have lived in Darlington all their lives, marked their golden wedding with a celebration.

Mr Weston, a retired engineer, and his wife, a former accounts clerk, first met at an old time dance about 52 years ago and now live in the town's Fulthorpe Grove. They spent their anniversary with daughter, Amanda, enjoying a meal in Durham.
