Their long and happy marriage has been blessed with three children - Daniel, Paul and Allen.
Betty (83) and Geoff (82) now also have four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
Having already celebrated their Diamond Wedding with their neighbours, they are now looking forward to a garden party with the family later this month.
When asked the secret of their long marriage, Betty paused to think, and then said: “Patience and understanding”, which is something we have all learnt to have more of over the past year.
