Dozens of homosexual couples have married in California shortly after the US state was permitted to grant them marriage licences for the first time.

Ceremonies were held in at least five counties after a Supreme Court ruling overturning a ban on same-sex marriages took effect at 1701 (0001 GMT).

One of the first couples to exchange vows was veteran gay-rights campaigner Del Martin, 87, and Phyllis Lyon, 83.

We owe this generation a debt of grattitude! And best wishes too.
