Like many couples Ted and Dorothy Rawnsley did their courting at Keighley's Mechanics Institute.

But unlike some others they carried on dancing -- and six decades later are still stepping out.

The couple, from Bridge Street, Keighley, celebrate their diamond wedding anniversary on Monday.

They have already marked the occasion with a holiday for four generations of their family in Anglesey.

Ted and Dorothy were both born in Highfield and got to know each other during dances at the Mechanics Institute, on North Street, and the old Keighley swimming baths.

The couple lived in Riddlesden for many years, then spent three years in Australia during the early 1970s before moving to their present home.

Ted spent his working life in engineering, apprenticed to Darling and Sellers then working for NSF and Dean Smith and Grace.

Dorothy started work at Silsden textile firm Knox's, left to bring up daughter June Gorthorpe, then became a dinner lady at Grange Middle School.

The couple continued dancing after the Mechanics Institute burned down in 1962, first at Keighley's Temperance Hall then -- until the present-day -- in Shipley.

Ted and Dorothy have a grandson Craig, who lives in Wales with his wife Mandi and daughter called J.
