A COUPLE who were separated during lockdown celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary with a socially-distanced outdoor lunch at a care home.
Andy Davidson, 88, a resident at Jesmond Care Home in Aberdeen, and his 86-year-old wife Margaret enjoyed some food and a whisky while separated by a Perspex screen as they marked the milestone.
Their daughter Brenda had cushions made with pictures of their faces on them “so they can cuddle up together” while care home visiting remains restricted.
She also organised a cake, while Mr Davidson made a picture for his wife with a blue heart to represent their sapphire anniversary.
The couple met at work in 1951 and married on July 30 four years later at New Deer South Church in Turriff, Aberdeenshire. In addition to their daughter, they also have a son, Andrew, three grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
