Pauline and Ken Cole above and, below, on their wedding day. Echo picture by Paul Collins. Order no: 8356901
THEY were reunited under the same roof again just in time to celebrate 60 years of wedded bliss.
Pauline Cole, 81, has lived at The Laurel care home in Salisbury Road, Totton, since June last year but husband Ken, 85, did not move in until last week.
Ken, a former long-distance lorry driver, met his wife at a dance shortly after leaving the Army.
They lived in Kathleen Road, Southampton, for 30 years. After Pauline moved into The Laurel, Ken was provided with a flat but missed his wife and so moved to be with her.
The party was organised by their daughter, who lives in Totton.
