The love that lasted 65 years before they died only days apart

It’s a story that sounds too romantic and tragic to be true.

The wife of a World War Two veteran who left his nursing home to go to France for D-Day commemorations has died just days after her husband.

Bernard Jordan sparked a police search when he left the care home in Hove to join fellow veterans in June.

Irene Jordan, 88, died on Tuesday – a week after her husband. They were married for more than 65 years.
