'We're just in love and that's it': Britain's oldest newlyweds tie the knot - with combined age of 180
Lovestruck Charlie Winter, 91, and Daisy Pike, 89, met at a bus station in Barnstaple nine years ago
You're never too old to be hit by Cupid's arrow - as this elderly couple can attest to.
The lovebirds have become Britain's oldest newlyweds after they tied the knot this weekend - with a combined age of 180.
Lovestruck Charlie Winter, 91, and Daisy Pike, 89, met at a bus station in Barnstaple nine years ago.
They were so smitten they missed their buses - and decided instead on an impromptu date at a fish and chip shop.
War veteran Charlie has been nagging former nurse Daisy to be his wife ever since but she refused to rush into marriage.
But Daisy changed her mind last December after a nasty fall left her in hospital.
Charlie popped the question again and she said yes.
The pair wed on Sunday at quaint St Mary Magdalene Church in their Devon home town of South Molton.
Daisy, still recovering from her fractured leg, used a walking stick to shuffle down the aisle before they exchanged vows sitting down.
Charlie and Daisy have each been married twice before but have never had children.
They celebrated their nuptials with a reception for 60 guests at their local pub.
Daisy said: "He'd asked me lots of times but there in the ward with all our friends around us I couldn't help but say yes.
"He said the words but was unable to get down on one knee because of his old age.
"He's always giving me flowers and paying me compliments - he's an old romantic.

"We're just in love and that's it, madly in love to tell the truth. We love to go on walks and to the beach together."
Evergreen Daisy worked as a nurse at the North Devon Infirmary from 1960 until she retired in 1972.
Charlie was stationed in Burma during World War II and took part in the key battle of Kohima before returning to civilian life as a lorry driver.
He retired at 59 but says he didn't meet the love of his life until he arrived at Barnstaple bus station almost a decade ago and spotted Daisy.
Charlie said: "Daisy was wearing a lovely red coat, we were both having a cuppa when our eyes met across the canteen.
"We both missed our buses, went for fish and chips and got to know each other.

"I still call her my little red coat."
The sprightly couple enjoy travelling and in their nine years together have holidayed in Portugal, the Netherlands, Weston-super-Mare, Blackpool, Snowdonia.
They are now planning a honeymoon in Bournemouth in June.
Romantic Charlie added: "As far as I'm concerned getting married is about just one word - love."
