DEVOTED Percy and Florence Arrowsmith become the longest-married couple in the world today when they celebrate their 80th anniversary.
Former solicitor’s clerk Percy, 105, says he knows the secret of a successful partnership — always say “Yes, dear”.

Florence, 100, said: “Never be afraid to say sorry. We never go to bed as bad friends.”

“It is all about hard work. We have had our arguments but we work through them together.”

The couple wed in 1925, when Stanley Baldwin was Prime Minister and Charlie Chaplin made The Gold Rush.

They have lived in their Hereford house for 77 years.

Florence said: “I will always remember our honeymoon — Percy had a bit of a hangover. I had to lay him down at the station and cover him with my coat — he was covered in confetti.”

The couple, who were congratulated by the Queen, have two children, a foster daughter, six grandchildren and nine great grandkids.

They both still enjoy a beer and a nip of whisky — but hope to get through family celebrations without a headache
