Romantic Whiteabbey couple celebrate diamond wedding anniversary on St Valentine's Day

A Whiteabbey couple have celebrated an extra special Valentine’s Day.

Roy and Doris Millar marked their diamond wedding anniversary in style on Saturday, February 14. Doris was originally from York Park, Belfast, before moving to Fernagh Drive when she was approximately 14 years of age. Roy was originally from Glasgow Street, Belfast.

They met by chance through mutual friends in L.M.S. York Road train station and, legend has it, on their second date Roy told Doris she was going to be the girl he would marry! He was true to his word and they tied the knot in Macrory Memorial Church Duncairn Gardens, Belfast, on February 14, 1966.

Roy and Doris were both thrilled to receive a card of congratulations from King Charles III on Saturday morning and celebrated their special milestone at Greenisland Golf Club in the company of family and friends.
