Diamond Wedding Anniversary - Ron and Betty Prime
RON AND BETTY PRIME of 1 Adam's Road celebrated their Diamond Wedding Anniversary on 9th June 2005.
They received a congratulatory card from the Queen on the day and on Saturday
11 June attended a surprise party at the home of one of their daughters in
Hertfordshire where they spent an enjoyable day with family members.
Ron and Betty have three daughters, six grandchildren and two great grandchildren, most of whom attended the party, along with Betty's sister Joan who was a bridesmaid at their wedding in London 60 years ago, and two nieces who travelled up from Tunbridge Wells for the day. They received a great number of greetings cards including many from friends who were guests at their wedding and one from a grand-daughter now living in New Zealand.
Former editors of the Crier, Ron and Betty now run the Music Circle in Burwell
and have always been unstinting supporters of local community life. Ron's
"Village Life" films are renowned and, as a previous president of
Swaffham Prior's Women's Institute, Betty continues her active support
and it is a rare village event of any kind that does not find her ably
assisting in some way or other.
Despite their many achievements, Ron and Betty's ever good-humoured and unassuming approach is quite remarkable. The Crier team would like to offer them all their congratulations on this 60th anniversary, and is just trying work out how Betty could possibly look so grown-up in that first photo which must surely have been taken before her fifth birthday.
