Template:1 August

1st August 1962: Ken Barlow and Valerie Tatlock's wedding ceremony took place at St. Mary's Parish Church, Weatherfield. Lucille Hewitt was bridesmaid, and many Coronation Street residents were in attendance, although notable absentees included Ken's brother David and Val's parents Alfred and Edith. Ken and Val had just bought 9 Coronation Street and were planning to start a new life there, three doors away from the house he grew up in. The day also saw pregnant Concepta Hewitt go into labour at the Rovers Return Inn, soon to give birth to Christopher.
