This is one of these stories that just makes you smile. And it makes me hope I'm that sprightly at that age.

On the news that they are Britains oldest couple
Peggy says: "We're just a couple in love. We really don't know what all the fuss is about. When the local newspaper first turned up last week, we asked why they were interested. They said we had broken a record and James and I were really confused.

"We looked at each other and said: "We haven't run any races recently, have we?" Then they explained we were Britain's oldest couple to get married. It was a hasty decision, but I didn't want to live in sin at my age and we were both desperate for a cuddle."

On how they met:
James said: "I come here every day. You get a lovely lunch for £3." Then he asked if I was alone, and I said: "I'm very lonely."

"With that, James took my hand and said: "Peggy, there's no need to be lonely." I looked into his twinkling blue eyes and suddenly it was as if those fireworks had gone off inside me.

"I thought: "Goodness, I haven't had these feelings for a long time." I actually started shaking."

On their honeymoon:
"We switched on the television, put on our slippers, had a nice tea and a custard cream and then went to bed for a cuddle. We were quite exhausted."

On their new found fame
Peggy clasps James firmly and adds: "Who would have thought that I would marry my true love, have my fairytale wedding, and meet Fern Britton all in the same week?

"It just goes to show - you are never too old for your dreams to come true."
