Cumbernauld couple celebrate diamond day

Glen and Jane Munro from Cumbernauld got married on 26th March 1966 and celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary with a special message from the King and Queen.

The big day was marked with a visit to their home by Dunbartonshire Deputy Lieutenant, Joe Stanfield MBE, who read the goodwill message from Buckingham Palace.

The Provost of North Lanarkshire, Bob Burgess, delivered a bouquet of flowers and a congratulations card from the council.

The couple met in the Highlanders Institute in Glasgow, which was a really popular dance hall for people from the Highlands and Islands.

Once married they settled in Dalmuir then lived in Bathgate.

They have a daughter Ileen and a son Christopher.

They spent four years in South Africa in the 1980s after moving there because of Glen's job.

Once back in Scotland they settled in Cumbernauld and have lived there ever since.

They have two grandsons, Greg & Euan.
