David and Irene Williams a married couple from Gorseinon, celebrated their Diamond wedding anniversary recently with a celebration at 'The Brighton Road Club' in Gorseinon, which included a dance and a buffet. The happy couple were married at St Davids Church in Penllergaer on 23rd September 1950.
The event was organised by close friends Ann and David Buck, who also run the dancing classes, Sonia from the Brighton Road club did the catering for the event, which was said to be outstanding.
The couple decided that they did not want any gifts for their special anniversary, but instead asked friends and family to contribute to the Armed Forces charity 'Healing the Wounds' Golden Grove Appeal.
Mr David Williams is an ex forces soldier with the 1st Battalion South Wales Borderers. His tours included Egypt, Palestine and Cypress, during and after the second World War. Both Irene and David Williams are totally supportive of the charity which is raising funds to provide Armed Forces Personnel, Veterans and their families with a facility for the treatment of PTSD and convalescence and wanted to help in any way possible.
The evening raised £920 in total, with a cheque presentation to the charities Executive Director, Kevin Richards and Director Carol Richards.
