A Wallington couple were pleasantly surprised recently when friends organised an impromptu celebration for their 50th wedding anniversary.
Edward Chmielewski, 87, and his wife Edina, 86, a former civil servant, of Queens Close, were joined by family and neighbours at Henrys Table at the Grange, Beddington Park, for lunch last Thursday.
The couple met at a dance in 1941 soon after Mr Chmielewski - a former member of the Polish Air Force - arrived in England to live.
