178 years old and still going strong
"There's a place that sells these motorhomes on the road to Newton Abbot, and one day we were going past and James said: 'Let's buy one of those. Then we can go wherever we like, whenever we like, and no one will be able to stop us.' "
Britain's oldest honeymooners (combined age 178) hit the road - with a love story that'll warm your heart

"I've never got over it"
"Henry John Patch would be notable simply by virtue of his 109 years on earth...
