Annan couple celebrate 60th wedding anniversary
dailyrecord.co.ukA romance sparked at the Co-operative in Annan decades ago resulted in a diamond day for Malcolm and Jina Currie when they received a special card from King Charles to commemorate their milestone anniversary.
Deputy Lord Lieutenant for Dumfriesshire, Hardip Atwal, called at their Annan home on Thursday to present the couple – now in their 80s – with the card and to congratulate them on their diamond wedding anniversary which marks 60 years of marriage.
