Reported on mirror.co.uk, retired probation officer Keith Laughton, 60, and paramedic Martin Dowle, 60, started the tradition when they were ten years old during a trip to Woolworths. By coincidence, the pair found themselves in the same store five years later and decided to repeat their picture - turning it into a tradition.

On Wednesday the friends, who met when they were eight and are both now 60, will take their 50th anniversary photo during a visit to Skegness.

Keith said: "We’ve always been close.

"I mean there are months that we don’t speak but all I have to do is pick up the phone and we pick up where we left off. The pair met aged eight when Keith went to introduce himself to Martin after he moved to his village of Bardney.

While Keith still lives there, Martin now lives in London. During their lifetime friendship the pair lived together, brewed beer in Martin's back garden aged 15, and shared a tent at Glastonbury. Read more on this article here.
