The 79-year-old said: 'We're so thrilled to be asked by the owner Bill Dolan, it's such a generous offer - it's a bloody great big saving. I first met Margaret when she was here with her sister in 1965, after three years of courting we finally got together and have been in love ever since. The memories we have here are irreplaceable and hopefully we can have many more together. 'Staff here have become like family to us, we have friends on the island and can't wait to go exploring, shopping and just relax every time we come - that's why we're here at least twice a year. 'Just give me three cups of coffee in the morning and I'm yours to do anything.'

The couple, from Aldridge, West Midlands, have been going to the Channel Islands together since 1969 and have always stayed at the Dolan Group's four star Hotel Cristina or Somerville Hotel. Company chairman Mr Dolan said: 'We are absolutely delighted that Francis and Margaret have chosen to come back to our hotels year on year. Their loyalty to us has never wavered and we thought it was a great opportunity to do something for them in return. We thought it would be lovely to take them back to their first visit and charge them only what they paid back in 1969.
