THOSE who were married in 1952 and will therefore be celebrating their Golden Wedding this year, are invited to a service of blessing and thanksgiving at Ripon Cathedral on Sunday, June 16 at 3pm.

Similar services have been held over the past several consecutive years. They are wonderful and uplifting occasions attended by hundreds of couples.

I would be very grateful for your readers' help; if they know of any such couples, could they please send me their names and addresses and I will then write to them personally. Alternatively your readers could pass this information to such couples, suggesting that they write direct to me for further details.

Rev Peter Dodson,

The Chapter House,

Ripon Cathedral,

Ripon, HG4 1PE.
