That the Parliament congratulates Midlothian residents, Helen and Billy McCall, on celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary on 3 July 2025; understands that the diamond anniversary proved to be a special family occasion with their daughter, Cllr Debbi McCall, the Provost of Midlothian, paying a visit, along with His Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant of Midlothian, Sarah Barron, to present the couple with flowers and a card; understands that Helen and Billy first met as neighbours in the Inch area of Edinburgh in the 1960s and enjoyed a long engagement, while Billy worked in London as a plumber, which included work at 10 Downing Street, and that they eventually married in July 1965; notes that Helen and Billy became Midlothian residents in 2004, after moving to Penicuik, and wishes the couple a very happy 60th year of marriage together.
