A DEVOTED Donaghadee couple have recently celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary.
Raymond and Joan Strain, who live at Ballyhay, were married on March 20, 1963, by Rev. WJ McKinstry Wallace, in Helen’s Bay Presbyterian Church.
They went on to have five children – Gillian, Deborah, Julie, Michael and Alister – and are proud grandparents to 10 grandchildren – Louise, Laura, Michelle, Jamie, Josh, Hannah, Zoe, Jack and Rory.
Raymond and Joan are awaiting the arrival of a fourth great-grandchild, to join Jonah, Olivia and Nancy.
Their family helped the couple celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary, and wished them lots of love and thanks for being such wonderful parents, grandparents and great-grandparents.
