A popular Flackwell Heath couple celebrated their birthdays together surrounded by loved ones.

Audrey and John Langley, who turned 90 and 92 respectively this month, marked the special occasion, along with the birth of their latest great-grandchild Leo, with 40 of their close family and friends at Flackwell Heath Community Centre.

The couple has lived in the village since 1957, except for when John’s work took them to Chelmsford for several years. Over the years, the pair have been heavily involved in the community, especially the Bowls Club.

Audrey also played a leading role in organising fundraising events to raise money for the community centre building.

Daughter Sue Whapshott said: “It was quite nostalgic having the party in a room that my Mum helped to raise money for.”
