Resident At Hastings Home Celebrates Diamond Wedding Anniversary

Alan and Carol Cole have been married since 1965

A resident at a Hastings home marked their diamond wedding anniversary.

Alan Cole has been living at MHA Lauriston since January 2025 and marked his 60th wedding anniversary with his wife Carol.

The couple married in 1965 and have two children Simon and Daniel.

Alan was born in Liverpool and settled in Battle after his marriage and lived there for 50 years before moving to MHA Lauriston.

The home decorated one of the lounges with balloons and banners and treated the couple to a homemade cake.

MHA Lauriston provides residential, nursing and residential dementia care for 60 residents.

Emma Lawlor, activities coordinator said:
“Carol visits Alan everyday so we wanted to make sure we do something special for the two.

“We knew the anniversary was coming up so we decided to plan something for them.

“We ordered some flowers for Alan to give to Carol, which was a nice surprise for her.

“Carol brought in her wedding photos and the cards they received from other family members.

“We invited Carol to stay with us for lunch and set up a table for them to sit together to be able to enjoy their lunch.

“It was nice to spend their big day with them, and the atmosphere at the home was amazing.”
