In North East London, Rose Massil and Laurie Lawrence have recently become engaged after five years of courtship. Unusual? Yes. She is 88 years old, he is 92.

After an engagement party for 80 family and friends, like any other couple, they are busy making plans and Laurie is preparing to move to be close to Rose.

They might be Britain's oldest engaged couple. But despite the big party, sapphire ring, and their advanced years, they are still not in a hurry to get married.
