After 70 years of married life they are as in love as when they met.
Kenneth and Ivy Booth, 95 and 93 respectively, celebrated their platinum wedding anniversary on July, 14.
'They are very affectionate towards each other, Mum always wants to hold dad's hand,' said their daughter Pat French.
The couple met at a dance in their home town of Derby before the Second World War and soon afterwards they got engaged.
Mr Booth was called up to the RAF during the war, and he spent four years as a reconnaissance pilot, flying over many places in Europe including Italy, Malta and Greece.
The pair did not see each other for four years during the war, but they kept in touch as much as they could.
Back home Ivy planned everything for the wedding and even made the arrangements with the vicar.
An accomplished seamstress, she made her own wedding dress with lace bought from the market, for which you did not need ration coupons.
Upon his return Mr Booth was awarded the Distinguished Flying Medal and the Distinguished Flying Cross for his wartime service.
They were married in Derby and later settled in Norwich.
They have two children, a daughter Pat, who is now 67, and a son Stephen, 62. Today they have six grandchildren and nine great grandchildren with one more on the way. 'They are loving parents who worked hard for us,' Mrs French added.
Mr Booth was a transport manager at Rolls Royce in Derby before moving to Norwich, where the pair have lived in their home near Mousehold Heath since 1964.
Mrs Booth worked as a medical secretary at the old Norfolk and Norwich Hospital for many years up until her retirement.
In later life Mr Booth worked in the Mackintosh Chocolate Factory.
Staff were sometimes given the misshapen leftovers which could not be sold, much to the delight of his younger family.
'The grandkids always used to like it when granddad brought his mashed up chocolates around,' Mrs French added.
They enjoyed foreign holidays and had a once in a lifetime trip to Fiji to visit their son after their retirement.
The family, who live all over the world, still have a yearly reunion.
'You have to make memories while you can,' said Mrs French.
