Elderly couple die side by side on same day after 77 years together
An elderly couple died on the same day when hospital staff moved their beds side by side - so they could hold hands one last time. Joyce and Frank Dodd, 97 and 96 respectively, who had been devoted to each other for 77 years clasped hands one last time at Darent Valley Hospital in Dartford, Kent, before both passing away.
The couple, from Gravesend in Kent, fell in love when they were teenagers and were married for nearly eight decades. They had five children, 12 grandchildren, ten great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren.
Both ill, the couple lay in separate wards in hospital, but staff decided to move their beds side by side so they could be together at their last moments. The pair will be laid to rest at Gravesend Crematorium on May 15.
