A Wetherby woman has just marked her 100th birthday - a year after her husband celebrated his.
Rita Bradbury turned 100 years old on Friday, May 31 and celebrated with a party at Anchor’s Wetherby Manor care home on St James Street where she and her husband Arnold have lived since 2015. The couple met in Leeds and they married at St. John’s Church, Moortown, in 1948. They celebrated their 75th wedding anniversary at the care home in March last year.
Rita, who was born in Durham but moved to Yorkshire just before the Second World War, said: “I deserve a medal for putting up with Arnold but wouldn’t change him for the world! We are still very much in love.” Her husband added: “It was love at first sight, we just knew we would spend the rest of our lives together. “We are very content here at Anchor’s Wetherby Manor and the care team is marvellous, we are looked after very well.
