The happy couple, who have lived at Tughan Court since 2018, were surprised by their friends and neighbours, who had secretly organised a celebration during an Easter gathering at the sheltered living scheme.
Nessie was 20 and Bertie was 25 in Ballyhill Dance Hall in 1961. Bertie worked as a welder for Hughes Tool Company and Nessie worked in BVC in Belfast. The Thompsons were married on 25th March 1963 at Ballysillan Presbyterian Church, and had 2 children Gill and Robert. The couple love have an adventurous streak and love to travel, they have enjoyed cruises and Bertie would have drove his car to in Germany and France for family holidays.
This very special occasion was rounded off with a card from the King and Queen.
Congratulations Mr & Mr Thompson from everyone at Choice.
