SIXT four years ago I was going to Burnden Park to watch Bolton when by boyfriend said the match had been called off.

I wasn't surprised as you could hardly see anything. We turned around and I asked him where we were going.

He said 'we are going to Prestons, we may as well get engaged.'

I got a beautiful ring, it was £11 and the best thing we ever did.

My husband died five weeks ago after 61 years. My granddaughter now wears my engagement ring with her own as it is too small for me.
