They travelled to London with son Sat Paul and his wife Rani. Sat Paul Chand said: “They are really looking forward to it, they can’t wait.”

The couple were born in India and have lived in Bradford since 1966.

They have been married for 87 years and live with their extended family in Washington Street, Girlington.
