🎉 78 Years of Love! 💍
Meet John & Audrey Geary – both 99 years young and celebrating an incredible 78th Wedding Anniversary at Sharston House Nursing Home in Knutsford, part of Kingsley Healthcare Group 💜
They met at the end of WWII and married on 19th July 1947 in North London. After a whirlwind romance (including a proposal on the London Underground!), they went on to build a beautiful life together – two children, three grandchildren, and a lifetime of memories. ✨
👩 Audrey worked through the war dodging doodlebugs, later opening her own boutique.
✈️ John served in the RAF as a pilot and flew Halifax Bombers. After the war, he joined British Airways and became their youngest senior Captain.
Now, they enjoy life together at Sharston House, surrounded by love and exceptional care. ❤️
The couple were joined by family, friends, Granada TV, and even Mayor of Knutsford, Cllr Bryan Hartley, for a very royal celebration – complete with a card from The King and Queen. 👑
Daughter Sylvia said:
"They’ve taught us so much about family, care and respect. We’re so proud."
💬 Bindhu Varughese, Home Manager:
"Their love and commitment is truly inspiring. We’re honoured to celebrate with them."
Thank you so much for Granada TV for capturing this beautiful story.
