Britain's oldest married couple are celebrating after making it into the history books.

Ralph and Phyllis Tarrant met in 1922 but did not get married until they could afford a house in 1933.

Their long courtship may be the secret of their success, as they have just celebrated their 75th wedding anniversary.

The Sheffield couple say being active has helped keep them young at heart.

Ralph, 105, does the cooking and Phyllis, who has just turned 100, does the cooking.
