For 65 years Harry and Mavis Stevenson stayed to love each other in sickness and in health. and when she died just 48 hours after her 89th birthday, he could not bear to be without her.

Yesterday their nephew Stephen Cresswell told how 88-year-old Mr Stevenson died within minutes of his beloved wife after they spent their last night holding hands while they slept in a care home.

‘It was less than ten minutes later. He was lying next to her in another bed at the time. They stayed in the same room in the care home and the staff had pushed the beds together the night before.

‘They told me he was holding her hand all that final night.’

The couple met at the age of 16 and fell in love with each other before Harry became a soldier in the Second World War on his 17th birthday in 1943. But wherever he was he wrote to his sweetheart – even after he was shot in the hand.

Mr. Cresswell said: ‘They wanted to be together. They were as close as any couple I have known. They were never angry to each other and were soulmates.’
