There's no chance of 88-year-old Harry Ward of forgetting to pick up a Valentine Day card for his 87-year-old wife Doris this year. He's been using the same card he bought here every year since he splurged on it 70 years ago.

"I bring it out of the cupboard and put it on our mantlepiece every Valentine's Day," Doris said. "It's a special to me now as it was 70-years-ago. Harry has never bought me one since, because I have this one every year."

The card reads, "Two hearts entwine this Valentine. True love makes it sincere". The couple married in 1942.
