Neither expected they would find love again, never mind actually marrying again. But the two hit it off straight away and Tim, who had been heartbroken, said the 'lights just came on' when they met. 'I was being looked after after my wife died by her gang of friends and they'd invited me to have lunch with them,' he said. 'So I had several lunches and I paid, and Michelle, Sheila's daughter, said ''I'm going to bring my mum if that is all right''.

Sheila added: 'The day was absolutely beautiful because the sun shined all day.'
