Karam Chand, 108, and his 101-year-old wife Katari were married in an India still under British rule back in 1925.
They moved to Bradford in northern England in 1965 and count their long marriage as a "real blessing" which has led to eight children, 27 grandchildren and 23 great- grandchildren.
"It's important to have no secrets, and not to argue," the husband told the Daily Express newspaper when asked about the secret of their long and happy marriage.
The Punjabi couple live with their youngest son Satpal and his wife and two of their four children.
