In a fitting tribute to their unwavering dedication, the couple, now in their octogenarian years, were bestowed with a prestigious lifetime achievement award at the annual fostering celebration hosted by Lincolnshire County Council.
"It's really quite humbling. It's not about us, it's about the kids we look after - they're the important ones," Robert, 81, said of the award.
