A sports-mad couple are celebrating a perfect match after marrying 60 years ago today.
John and Maureen Munday, 84 and 79, from Long Barrow Drive in North Walsham, married at Cromer Parish Church on September 10 1955.
They met in 1953 at Cromer Badminton Club and were engaged a year later.
Mr Munday proposed during a Cromer Pier show - staged at the town's parish hall because of 1953 flood damage and featuring a young Ronnie Corbett.
The pair played badminton, hockey and tennis and Mrs Munday - nee Madgett, and known as Bunty - competed in athletics for Norfolk up to the 1960s during which time she was county hurdle champion several times.
She said: 'We have had a very happy marriage.
'Sense of humour gets you through everything. We have a good laugh. John has a very good Norfolk sense of humour. We are a bit like chalk and cheese but get on very well.
'We have always liked all sports, whatever they are. Sport was everything to us when we were young.'
After their wedding, they were greeted to a surprise hockey stick guard of honour outside the church.
Mrs Munday set up the Norfolk Junior Badminton Association and ran the county's junior badminton league while the couple lived in Dereham and Norwich from the 1960s until the early 1990s.
Her husband, a former Lloyds bank worker, was Norfolk tennis singles champion in 1959, represented the county's first teams at tennis and badminton up to the late 1960s and was county badminton captain for six years in the 1960s.
The couple, who moved to North Walsham in 1997, are also lifelong Norwich City Football Club fans.
They have two children and five grandchildren - all of whom have played badminton.
As well as sport, the couple are dedicated to their family and managed to combine the two after taking relatives to the 2012 Olympic Games in London where they watched the athletics.
They are celebrating their milestone anniversary at the Beechwood Hotel in North Walsham.
