A Love Story - 60 Years In The Making.

Now when you cast your mind back to the romances of your teenage years, they probably involved a fair amount of laughter, tears and ultimately, hopefully some fond memories.

But imagine falling out with your beloved - only to rekindle the flame of romance more than sixty years later.

Well that's what happened to Wyn Upton and Eric Butler - who met as teenagers in the early fifties - they think - at a dance in Coalville.

After splitting up in 1953 they enjoyed long and happy marriages. But now, both widowed, they've picked up where they left off sixty three years ago.

Jo Hayward met the couple at Wyn's home in Whitwick and Eric recalled how they spent their time when they were teenagers ahead of the big break up.
