Bill, 97, hunts for mystery guest from Shrewsbury wedding anniversary party
As Bill Hardy and his wife Kate celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary, one of the guests came forward and said: "I want to shake you by the hand and thank you for putting me on the right road all those years ago."
His name was lost amid the hubbub, he then disappeared. That was back in 2011, when Bill was already aged 88.
And now Bill, a former Shrewsbury scoutmaster, is making a last attempt to trace that mystery guest at their do at the Lion Hotel, Shrewsbury.
"At 97 I have many loose ends I would like to tie up, and this is one of them," he said.
Now living in Bristol, he said: "It is to my loss that I have never done anything to discover who he was, and maybe today is too late, as I would like to shake his hand again and know him.
