The celebrating couple were Pamela and Roger Howland, who first met at the Peterborough Cycling Club Hillclimb in 1955 where Roger was a champion cyclist. In fact he still holds the record for the Peterborough to Leicester ride.

They were married at St Barnabas church in Taverners Road on December 14, 1957 and have two children, Paul and Fiona, and four grandchildren - Joe, Stuart, Max and Georgina.
