For better, for worse, for the journey . . .

Two pensioners, holders of the title 'the UK's oldest newlyweds', who met at a day centre last November, have married - and now plan to tour the UK in a motorhome as an extended honeymoon.

The Paignton couple are re-visiting their childhood home towns in Wales, Ireland and Yorkshire before taking in the Scottish countryside too.

Peggy Mason, a retired driver who has held a clean licence for the past 65 years, said: "We're so excited.

"It's the trip of a lifetime. There are certain sights we both want to see - the places we were born, where we lived and grew up. But, other than that, we shall do as we please."

The couple can be spotted travelling in their four-berth power-steered Peugeot Elddis 320 Boxer.
