A British couple, who have been married for 75 years, have revealed their hilarious secret to lasting love.
Alan and Trudy Tomlinson, who both live together in a care home, first met at a youth social event.
The 97-year-old and 96-year-old, who are both from Sheffield, have been inseparable ever since.

They tied the knot in 1949 and, over seven decades later, are still head over heels for each other.
“[The secret] is learning when to keep your mouth shut,” Trudy told What’s The Jam.
“You can get fed up at times.
“We are happy that we can still be together.”
Alan and Trudy both moved to Middleton Lodge Care Home in Derby, owned by Avery Healthcare, which partnered with online care home finder, Lottie, in August last year.
It means so much to the couple that they can spend each day together and they recently enjoyed a very special wedding anniversary dinner.
She said: “We’ve built a life together and it’s wonderful to continue that in such a lovely place.
“Going through this transition together has made it much easier.”
Alan and Trudy are not the only residents at the care home who have enjoyed a long-lasting marriage.
Peter, 90, and Eileen, 89, have also been together for decades, having tied the know in August 1958.
They first met at Manchester University when they attended a dance and the rest was history.
Peter, from Surrey, and Eileen, from Nottingham, have shared some very touching advice to those seeking everlasting love.
The couple said: “[It’s about] knowing what your partner needs and accepting them for who they are.
“We accept each other’s weaknesses.”
One of their favourite memories together is their time spent in Edinburgh, where they had their honeymoon.
