A DEVOTED couple are back together after being apart for the first time in 66 years.

Ken and Joan Hunt, who are in their 90s, were reunited after he spent time in hospital following a fall at home, when Ken broke his back in several places.

Reunited at the Manor Care Home, in Bishop's Hull, this week, Ken said: "I'm on the mend - onwards and upwards."

He squeezed his wife's hand and added: "I'm a Joanie man."
