Victor said: ‘We spent Valentine’s Day together, we prepared a meal together and I was able to share the day with my Queen, Gaby.

 

‘We met 18 years ago, we are perfect for each other and we love each other very much.

 

‘We both have lots of tattoos and modifications and we continue to get them – we don’t really care what other people think.’

Christmas lightsAn Australian family who put more than half a million Christmas lights on their house have claimed a world record – for the second time.

Father-of-three David Richards from Canberra first won the title in 2011 with 331,038 lights, but was beaten by a family in New York who put up 346,283.

His family vowed to take regain the title this Christmas – so installed more than 31 miles of wire with 502,165 lights, glowing reindeer and loud music around their suburban home, to the irritation of some neighbours.

Guinness World Records today confirmed the family’s charity feat has officially the most Christmas lights on a residential property.

The twinkling bulbs will cost about £1,400 to run for a month – but the sum has been donated by a local power company.

The stunt is open to the public, and hundreds of people have already visited and posted videos on Youtube. It will raise funds for children’s charities including to fight Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

Up to 70,000 people visited the light show when he last put it on in 2011 and it raised £44,000 for charity. This year Mr Richards wants to raise £56,000.

The lights took a month to put up but Mr Richards did not have to count them all himself – instead delivery records and invoices were used to certify the total.
