Pauline and Colin LoveA Shropshire couple called Mr and Mrs Love today spoke of how their love for each other has endured despite the most adverse of starts.

Colin and Pauline Love, of Glendale, Lawley Village, Telford, married in their teens but soon found themselves homeless and expecting their first child.

Their homelessness plight was featured in a story in the Shropshire Star's sister paper the Express and Star in 1974.

The article told how the Wolverhampton couple had to sleep rough in bus shelters, despite Pauline, just 16 at the time, being pregnant.

In spite of the tough start, the couple managed to stay together and 34 years later, as they celebrate another Valentine's Day together today, they revealed how their relationship survived such early adversities.
