The son of a successful businessman and woman told how their dad died on the day of their mum's funeral after spending 65 years married, with barely ever spending a day apart. Joan and Bernard O'Malley, both 88, founded Nationwide Produce PLC in September 1975. Bernard started the business in a small room, of a small three-bedroom house in Southport and, with the help of his wife Joan, grew into one of the largest, longest established, and most diverse produce companies in the UK. Joan, 88, died following a short time in hospital on Friday, October 11, before Bernard, also 88, died on Wednesday, October 30, the day of Joan's funeral. Pictured: Joan and Bernard O'Malley.

Center Parcs, the UK and Ireland?s leading premium family short break provider, has today announced it is developing proposals to create its first holiday village in Scotland. Center Parcs continues to see significant demand for domestic short breaks, and the expansion into Scotland would provide customers with a new site to explore. The site chosen for the village is in the Scottish Borders, approximately three miles north of Hawick and 55 miles south of Edinburgh. The site is well-located and would provide significant benefits to the local economy in Scotland, including job creation. Proposals are at an early stage and Center Parcs intends to submit a planning application in 2025.
