Happy couple Bill and Grace Neil have celebrated 60 years of wedded bliss.

The pair have lived in Wibsey, Bradford, for most of their married life and settled in Thorncroft Road.

Mr Neil moved to Bradford from Lanark in Scotland in 1947 to play football for Bradford Park Avenue alongside Len Shackleton, Chick Farr and Johnny Downie.

His wife followed him to England in 1950 when they got married. During their working years Bill, 86, was with West Yorkshire and Bradford Metropolitan Councils in the Highways Department and Grace, 84, worked for the Department of Social Security.

They have two daughters and two grandsons and celebrated their anniversary with a family meal.
