Davy Moakes, 86, and Helen Andre, 82, fell in love while studying at Art College and got engaged in 1951.

But Helen’s parents did not want their daughter to marry an artist and called the wedding off two years later.

The pair drifted apart and started their own families – meaning their love story had to be put on hold for over six decades.

But after Helen’s third husband passed away she managed to track her teenage sweetheart down online.

The couple married on Friday and are currently enjoying a two-week honeymoon in Cyprus.

Davy said: “It’s so strong the love between us. Even after all this time, it still feels the same.

“It’s just perfect; it’s just how it was. We’re no spring chickens so we decided if we still had these strong feelings for each other then we best get on and get married.”

Helen added: “I couldn’t be happier; all my dreams have come true.”

Davy and Helen were aged 21 and 16 when they met while studying together at Chesterfield Art College, Derbs.

Congratulations to the happy couple.
