A couple has recreated a 65-year-old wedding photo of the bride waving at a passing train—which she did every day as a girl.

George and Margaret Stone are celebrating their anniversary today, marking it with a tradition going back decades.

Margaret and her sister Janet spent their childhood waving at trains passing through their garden, with the drivers often tooting back.

She spent hours waving at the London to Penzance steam trains, which used to thunder past her home in Wiltshire so much so that on September 5, 1959, bride-to-be Margaret and Janet made a cake that 300 colleagues of the Western Region of British Railways shared.

Margaret and George met at Trowbridge Young Farmers Club and even broke off from their wedding to wave at the train from the family farm in Easterton, near Devizes.

Today, they recreated a photo taken on their wedding day 65 years ago,

They were also presented with a special wedding cake from Great Western Railway – to return the kind-hearted gesture Margaret made back on the eve of her wedding day

Their eldest daughter Annette said: “’It was just one of those lovely things my mum did.

”Her and her sister would run to the bottom of the garden, wave and the moving trains and they always tooted back.
