World’s oldest married couple celebrate joint birthdays (Photos)

A husband and wife who claim to be the world's oldest married couple have celebrated their joint birthdays - with a combined age of 211.

Karam Chand celebrated reaching 109 on the same day his wife of nearly 90 years, Kartari, turned 102.

The couple celebrated their birthdays with four generations of their family at their home in Bradford, West Yorkshire, on Sunday.

They claim to be the world's oldest married couple, tying the knot 89 years ago in December 1925 after meeting in India as teenagers.

Their son Paul Chand said he was proud to see his parents celebrate almost a century of married life.

The couple are pictured here with their children at Mr Chand's 100th birthday party  - nine years ago
