Love At First Sight For Oldest Newlywed

[LuzyC 0]

Their eyes met across the hall of the Paignton Day Centre in Devon.

Bowled over by his good looks, she, a modern woman in the 21st century, made the first move, using the time-honoured chat-up line "do you come here often?".

James Mason, 93, and his 85-year-old bride Peggy Clark tied the knot after a whirlwind romance

The ice broken, a smitten James Mason - not the iconic actor, but every bit the showman - replied "every day".

Three days later, after a series of dates by the seaside, the former Torbay Mayor popped the question to a proud Peggy Clark.

And now, just weeks after their whirlwind romance started under such inauspicious circumstances, the couple believed to be Britain's oldest newlyweds have tied the knot - on the bride's 85th birthday.

The couple, with a combined age of 178, became husband and wife at Oldway Mansion in Paignton.

Wearing a long white dress, a glittering tiara, a fur wrap and necklace, and carrying a bouquet of white roses, Mrs Clark arrived in a vintage Jaguar.

Mr Mason, 93, wore a traditional grey top hat and tails, with a white rose carnation in his lapel.

Arm in arm, the happy couple strolled down the aisle to Boyzone's 'No Matter What', one of the bride's favourite songs.
