“The service was perfect – personal but simple, emotional and heartfelt, which is what we wanted it to be,” Steve told Hello! in December 2013.
Sally said: “Some girls have been planning their wedding day since they were six, but I was never one of them. And to be honest, I never thought I’d have kids. Because of the career I’d chosen, I never thought it would be possible. And then I met Steve,” she continued.
As a drummer, Steve started playing the instrument when he was just 11 years old. When he was 17, his career took off, playing for music legend Paul Weller and his band The Style Council.
Three years later, in 1985, Steve became the youngest drummer ever on stage at Live Aid at Wembley Stadium at just age 20.

“I’d love to come back to it in years to come. Betty Driver [Betty Williams] didn’t join until she was 58 so there’s plenty of time I love Corrie – always have, always will,” she told Inside Soap Magazine in 2015.
“Corrie was the best training course of my life,” Sally continued. “I learned everything there – everything. I had to learn lines quickly and because everything turns over so rapidly, you learn to trust your instincts while working with brilliant actors like William Roache. He’s amazing. He never forgets his lines or was late on set. You look up to people like that.”
