Dorset couple marry after finding love online in their 80s

A couple in their 80s, whose families signed them up for an online dating site, have celebrated their first month of marriage.

Freda Clark-Coffin, 80, and Euan Coffin, 84, from Bournemouth, both lost their partners after being married for more than 50 years.

When they told their families they were feeling lonely, they were signed up for a dating site and had their first date in a supermarket car park in 2019.

The couple tied the knot last month and are planning their honeymoon in Devon in September.
