Britain's oldest married couple: He's 107 and she's 101 and they wed 77 years ago

When he received his first birthday card from the Queen on his 100th birthday, it was a real novelty for Ralph Tarrant.

Now, however, he and his wife have a total of ten of them as Britain's oldest married couple take their combined age to a staggering 208 years.

Having just turned 107 and celebrated 77 years of marriage, Mr Tarrant and his wife Phyllis - a comparative youngster at 101 - still live independently and are as devoted to one another as ever.

The couple - who have two daughters - celebrated both this month's landmarks with the help of some of their seven grandchildren, ten great-grandchildren and one great-great grandchild.

'It's still exciting when the Queen's card comes, even though I have eight now and Phyllis has two,' said Mr Tarrant, who retired from his job selling insurance way back in 1968.

'I had a really lovely birthday, with lots of visitors. We've had a nice anniversary too with some beautiful flowers, which was a nice surprise.'

The couple, who married on July 8, 1933, spent the first part of their long retirement holidaying around the world, visiting America eight times.

They still have their own flat in Broomhill, Sheffield, and are determined to keep active, going out and about regularly, while Mrs Tarrant attends services at her local church every Sunday.

'We get out when we can, going to lunch clubs and shopping most weeks,' said Mr Tarrant. 'We are still very independent and enjoy life.'

His wife has put the secret of their long-lasting marriage and relationship down to 'getting on with each other, a good diet, exercise, avoiding cigarettes - and a tot of whisky each night'.

But they admit to the occasional tiff - usually down to Mrs Tarrant not being able to decide what she wants her husband to cook for tea, or one of them putting the television on too loud.

'Having little rows is good for a relationship,' Mrs Tarrant said recently. 'It keeps it healthy.'

British couple become world's oldest divorcees aged 98

在98岁的高龄离婚，这对老人家也算是世间罕有了。Bertie和Jessie Wood结婚已经36年，他们在遇到彼此之前都有一段婚姻。他们1972年结婚、2007年离婚。离婚后，老太太住进了老人院，而老先生紧跟着就过世了……

A British man and his wife have become the oldest couple in the world to divorce – at the age of 98.

Bertie and Jessie Wood got a decree absolute to end their 36-year marriage when they were both two years away from their 100th birthdays.

Both had been married before when they wed in Elstree, Hertfordshire, in 1972. They moved to Falmouth, Cornwall, four years later, but by 2008 the relationship was over.

Both were 97 at the time and it is unclear why their marriage failed although a decree absolute is believed to have been granted subsequently.

According to neighbours of the former couple, Mrs Wood now lives in a care home. Mr Wood, however, died shortly before he turned 99.

Mrs Wood's daughter Pauline Rowe, 65, refused to discuss the split. 'It's too hurtful to talk about,' she told the News of The World.

Terence Wood, Mr Wood's son from his first marriage, also refused to comment on the marriage break-up, which prompted divorce expert Francine Kaye to say: 'At that age you'd think you'd find some way of getting on with each other.'

But to prove romance is not dead in the West Country, in the neighbouring county of Devon last month, a couple married at the combined age of 181 to become Britain's oldest newlyweds.

Les Atwell, 94, and Sheila Walsh, 87, married in a quiet ceremony attended by family and friends. They met four years ago, introduced by Mr Atwell's cleaner.

His new wife explained: 'His cleaner told me about Les and I thought he sounded nice but then she told me he's 90 and I thought "oh no, I'm not so sure".

'But when we met, that was it. It was love at first sight.'

The couple, who live in Paignton, went on a two week Mediterranean cruise for their honeymoon, stopping off in Athens, Rome and Barcelona.

James Mason, 93, and his wife Peggy, 85, also from Paignton, shortly held the title of the country's oldest newlyweds after they married in 2007.

The world record is held by French couple Francois Fernandez, then 96, and Madeleine Francineau, then 94. who married in 2002.
