The Daily Mail, 12 March
Bill Rodger, 96, was the oldest groom in Britain when he married his long-term partner Liz Stewart in November last year. He died on March 7, just four months into wedded life. The couple had been in a relationship for 11 years, and Rodger referred to his wife as his ‘twilight sweetheart’. He decided to propose after one his great-grandchildren asked whether Mrs Rodgers was their great-grandmother. ‘That started the bell tinkling’, he said.
