Hampshire couple mark their platinum wedding anniversary
The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh are the first royal couple to celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary. But they're not the only ones to reach the milestone in 2017.
Tom and Vera Elliott from Gosport have also made it to 70 years of marriage.
They are both 92 years of age now, but they first met when they were just 15.
They married on September 27th 1947 at Christ Church in Dagenham. But as you're about to hear, Vera wasn't so sure.
