GOLDEN couple Peter and Joan Davison have been presented with a colourful gift by their housing association landlords.

The couple, who have known each other since childhood, will celebrate 50 years of marriage this weekend.

The couple used to live in Redcar, but four years ago moved into a Broadacres property, in Northallerton, North Yorkshire.

As they enjoyed a Salvation Army concert at the Orchards, in Brompton, they were surprised by local councillor John Coulson, a member of the association's management board, who pre- sented them with a bouquet.

The couple, who have a son and three grandchildren, will be joined by family and friends on Sunday for a celebration.
