Record-breaking couple who have been married for 80 years receive THIRD telegram from the Queen in a year

A couple with the record for Britain's longest-ever marriage have received their THIRD telegram from the Queen in a year.

This year has seen the Queen not only send Frank and Anita Milford a telegram when they became the country's longest wedded couple, but she also dished out two further telegrams when they both reached their 100th birthday.

Family and friends have helped to toast Anita's milestone.

Their son, also called Frank, 73, said: 'They're the only couple to have three telegrams from the Queen in one year. I'm very proud of them both.'
