  The pair ended their 36-year marriage when they were both two years away from their 100th birthdays.

  They got married in Elstree, Hertfordshire, in 1972, having both ended previous marriages, before moving to Falmouth Cornwall four years later.
  1972年,两人在结束各自的前一段婚姻后,在赫特福德郡的埃尔斯特里结婚。四年后他们搬至康沃尔郡的法尔茅斯镇生活。

  However, by 2008, when they were both aged 97, their relationship faltered and a decree absolute is believed to have been granted subsequently.
  然而,2008年,在两人都已是97岁高龄的时候,竟出现了感情危机。后来(在他们98岁时),他们的离婚判决生效。

  According to neighbours of the former couple, Mrs Wood now lives in a care home. Mr Wood died shortly before he turned 99.
  据这对离婚夫妇的邻居们说,伍德太太现在住在一家养老院里,而伍德先生已在99岁生日前夕去世。

  Mrs Wood's daughter Pauline Rowe, 65, refused to discuss the split. “It's too hurtful to talk about,” she told the News of The World.
  伍德太太65岁的女儿宝琳?罗拒绝谈论这件事。她告诉《世界新闻》说:“说这件事太令人伤心。”

  His new wife explained: “His cleaner told me about Les and I thought he sounded nice but then she told me he's 90 and I thought "oh no, I'm not so sure".
  “But when we met, that was it. It was love at first sight.”
  新娘希拉说:“他的清洁工和我说起雷斯,我觉得他很不错,但当她告诉我他已经90岁时,我想‘哦不行,我还得再考虑考虑’。
  “不过当我们见了面,一切疑虑都打消了。这就是一见钟情。”

  The couple, who live in Paignton, went on a two week Mediterranean cruise for their honeymoon, stopping off in Athens, Rome and Barcelona.
