TO CELEBRATE their diamond wedding anniversary, Ken and Margaret Sparks of Kings Hill, Bude, returned to Leek Seed Chapel, St Blazey Gate, last Saturday (June 2) where they were married on May 31, 1952.

There in the schoolroom at a celebratory party with family and friends, two wonderful surprises awaited them. First; a card bearing the congratulations of HM the Queen, then their son Andrew and his wife Debbie who had travelled all the way from New Zealand to be there.
