But Mr Reagan was refused entry into the country, despite having previously been granted indefinite leave to remain as he had lived in England for 12 years before the couple emigrated.
The couple had two appeals against the deportation turned down, and missed celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary together as a result.

The tribunal judge ruled on Wednesday that Mr Reagan's deportation was a breach of the couple's right to respect for family life.
