The secret of a long marriage is one part whiskey, two parts love and understanding. Percy Arrowsmith 105 years of age also said that the two words "yes dear" had served him well over the 80 years.
Percy's wife Florence 100 years of age added that she too liked a sherry with lunch and a whisky in the evening.
Florence added she could not express enough the importance of saying "I'm sorry". "We don't often quarrel and we never go to sleep angry," she said.
The couple, who still live in their own house in Hereford about 200 km northwest of London, also set a record for the largest combined age in a marriage.
The Arrowsmith's plan to celebrate their anniversary on June1 with friends and family.
