Pictured are Stan and Betty Caswell, of 1 Hydref, High Grove, New Hedges, who celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary on Januray 13.
The couple are seen at their home holding a congratulatory card which they received from HM The Queen.
A good friend of Stan and Betty, Robert Parsons has also written a tribute in their honour:
On the 13th day of January
In the year of 49,
Our Stan and Betty tied the knot
And each one said 'you're mine.'
The early years were difficult
But there wasn't any fuss.
They didn't have a car you see
So had to use the bus.
As time went by their lives improved,
They bought an Austin 7.
No more blessed buses
They thought they were in Heaven.
Throughout the years they flourished
And the family increased.
But then they said that four's enough
And so production ceased.
Next they bought a caravan
And to Swallow Tree they went.
There are many happy memories
Of friends and years they spent.
By now they'd moved from Ebbw Vale
To Gilwern with the posh
Because the boys had flown the nest
They had some surplus dosh.
Their nearest pub, the Corn Exchange
Was where all the locals met.
So Stanley did a painting
Unless they should forget.
In '88 they moved again
New Hedges was the spot.
With such good times at Saundersfoot
They loved the place a lot.
And this is where they settled
To spend their latter years.
With many friends and interests
They are never short of cheers.
They're often very busy
With jobs for other folk,
And there have been times in days gone by
When it's gone beyond a joke!
They run a little clinic
For alkies or that ilk.
With Stan and Janet present
They don't need any milk!
So that concludes our story
Of Betty and our Stan.
She's a very clever lady
And he's a superman.
So we say congratulations
From family and friends,
For 60 years of happiness
We hope it never ends.
