Template:7 December

7th December 1983: Stan and Hilda Ogden celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary in the Select of the Rovers Return. Friends and neighbours join the party, with Alf Roberts toasting the couple. The event is also attended by Eddie and Marion Yeats on their last night in Weatherfield before moving to Bury. Eddie says the Ogdens have been like parents to him. With Jack Duckworth playing the piano, Rita Fairclough sings "We've been together now for forty years". The event is marred however as two police officers arrive in the Rovers during the celebration to break the news to Rita that her husband Len Fairclough has been killed on a motorway.
