A couple from Emneth celebrated their platinum wedding anniversary by raising more than £500 for The Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
Danny and Dorothy Noone met at a YMCA dance near Sailsbury while serving in the Army as ATS drivers during the Second World War.
More than 70 years later the pair joined by friends and family celebrating their milestone anniversary with a party at The Crown Hotel, Outwell.
During the party, the couple raised £540 for the Shouldham Ward Staff Fund, which they presented to ward sister Emma Wren.
Mrs Noone said: “The National Health Service is wonderful and has been very good to us. I would like to thank everyone who supported us by donating money at our party.”
