True romance: A rose every Day !

This is a heart warmer....

Tom Shovelton with his wife of 60 years, Joan. The 87-year-old has put a rose on his wife's pillow every morning for the last 60 years

And if that supremely romantic gesture wasn't enough to shame most husbands in Britain, there is more.
For every morning he also kisses his 83-year-old wife
Joan and every night he ensures she goes to sleep with another kiss.

These simple acts must secure the octogenarian the accolade of one of the most romantic husbands in the country.

The couple, from Pentre Halkyn in Flintshire, North Wales, were yesterday celebrating their diamond wedding anniversary.
Mrs Shovelton said: 'We have lived and worked together all our lives, so we know how important give and take is. We've had a happy 60 years together. I wouldn't have changed a thing.'
