Mr Crockford, who married his wife Tina in October 1966, said he was worried he would not survive to see their diamond anniversary.

Exactly 60 years on, the show is celebrating its diamond anniversary with three new hour-long specials starting this weekend.

A diamond anniversary is almost unheard of in showbiz circles.

Aboard the Windrush 75 bus, Deborah Klass, chief executive of the Windrush Generation Association told how the float is dedicated to those who disembarked the HMT Empire Windrush at Tilbury in 1948, celebrating the diamond anniversary of their arrival.

No host has been announced for the ceremony, which will celebrate the Emmy’s diamond anniversary.
