BRIAN BURY TURNS 85 - MARG & I NEVER STOP LAUGHING!

Showbiz favourite Brian Bury swears the secret to his 60-year marriage - as well as "making it to 85" despite enduring some horrendous heartbreaks - is laughter, and plenty of it! "It's true, [my wife] Marg and I make each other laugh as much as we can each day.

It's a tonic and an antidote to some of the awful things life can toss at you. We really are a wonderful double act," says a beaming Brian, who celebrates his birthday this week.

BRIAN'S ONE & ONLY

The much-loved TV veteran, who spent more than 40 years as one of Nine's brightest stars, including a decade as Today's ever-smiling weatherman famous for his colourful bow ties and funky glasses before being fired in 1991, says he'll never forget the day he met Margaret.

"It was on a blind date in 1961. I'd been lined up to escort Margaret to her office ball. I'd never really been in love with anyone before - Margaret is my one and only - and, as it turned out, it was love at first sight for us both." Margaret, 81, explains that she'd been working with Brian's sister-in-law Francine, and that's how he wound up as her date for the ball.

"My grandmother would have needed the smelling salts if she knew I was going to my first ball with a TV star. She thought showbiz people were libertines," she says. "But Brian was such a gentleman. So thoughtful, kind and funny. He made me feel incredibly special.
