An Indian-origin couple will become the UK's oldest married couple as they celebrate their 88th wedding anniversary this week.

Karam Chand and his wife Katari said that their marriage is a "real blessing", and to celebrate another year of married life is like a "dream come true", the Daily Express reported.

The 108-year-old husband and 101-year-old wife were married in India at a Sikh ceremony on December 11, 1925, when the country was under British Rule, and moved to Bradford in 1965.
