Devoted couple married for 65 years die minutes apart



Harry Stevenson, 88, died moments after care home nurses told him of the death of his beloved 89-year-old wife, Mavis.
The couple, pictured right on their wedding day, met at a social club when they were 16 and refused to be apart after being separated in the Second World War. During his years as a Royal Marine Commando, Mr Stevenson wrote touching love letters (inset) to his sweetheart. Mr and Mrs Stevenson, pictured left celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary, died in the room they shared at St Werburgh's House Care Home, Derby.

Culled
