One of Britain's longest married couples have been reunited to enjoy their 80th wedding anniversary.

Ken Harris, 102, celebrated with wife Margaret, 99, after being parted for the first time since the war.
Mr Harris feared he would never again see his beloved wife after he went into hospital with a broken hip.
But the couple, who were married in 1937, have been reunited again at a nursing home in Llangynidr, near Crickhowell, in Powys.
"They hold hands every day now because of the memory of being separated in the war," said daughter-in-law Pat Harris, 75.
Mr Harris, who has carried a photograph of their wedding day in his wallet since, was deployed to Burma in World War Two with the South Wales Borderers.
The couple from Llanhilleth, near Newbridge, who have two children, Alan and Ann, have spent every day together since.
That was until Mrs Harris was moved into a care home after being diagnosed with dementia.
The former butcher was then admitted to hospital after breaking his hip in a fall just six weeks before their 80th anniversary and believed it would be the last time he would see his wife.
But after spending a month in hospital, Mr Harris was given the all clear to leave and was found a room in the same care home as his wife in the Brecon Beacons.
"Ken went to war and Margaret stayed home working as a doctor's secretary but he always had her photo in his wallet," added Mrs Harris.
"When Ken went into hospital he didn't think he would ever see her again. It is so fortunate that a room became available at Margaret's home.
"It has been a real battle trying to keep them together. Ken gave his life for his country and he deserves to be able to be with his wife.
"They are a very loving couple and we are so proud to have celebrated their 80th anniversary with them."


Everton midfielder Ross Barkley is "looking for a new challenge" and the club "100%" expect him to leave, says manager Ronald Koeman.

Barkley, 23, has one year left on his contract but has failed to sign a new deal.
"We made a good offer of a contract. He declined," said Koeman.
Koeman also said he is still interested in Swansea City midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson after the Welsh club rejected a £40m bid from the Toffees.
The Swans want £50m for the 27-year-old, who scored nine goals last season.
Meanwhile, Everton want around £50m for Barkley but that figure could fall before the transfer window closes on 31 August as he would be a free agent in 12 months' time.
The academy graduate has played 150 times for Everton in the Premier League, scoring 21 times, since making his debut six years ago.
"Ross told me at the end of the season he wanted another challenge," added Koeman before Everton's Europa League third qualifying round first leg tie with Slovakia's Ruzomberok at Goodison Park on Thursday (20:05 BST).
"His personal situation is really not so difficult. My priority is not Ross, with respect, it is his decision. I look more to other players. I knew this at the end of the season.
"Everyone knows what the situation is and that's enough, I don't talk any more about this."


A nanny who shook a 10-month-old boy to death "in a fit of anger" has been jailed for four years.

Viktoria Tautz, 34, was caring for Joshua Paul at his home in Haringey, north London, when he suffered "catastrophic brain and spinal injuries".
Joshua was rushed to hospital but died three days later.
Tautz had denied prosecution claims she "snapped". and shook Joshua in a "dangerous and excessive" manner.
The court heard Joshua, who was born 10 weeks early, had a large head for his age and was being monitored.
At about 08:40 BST on August 29, 2014, Joshua's mum Pearl Paul left her son "happy and playing" with Tautz in the one-bedroom flat, the court heard.
But at 09:07, a neighbour called 999 after Tautz dashed from the flat shouting for help, holding Joshua who was unconscious and not breathing.
On her arrest, Tautz told police she had played a horse-riding game with Joshua but he had not had any accidents that morning.
Zoe Johnson QC rejected the defence's suggestion he was hurt in a "horsey game", as head wobbling involved would have been "nowhere near enough" to kill.
Tautz collapsed in tears in the dock as she was sentenced by Mrs Justice McGowan.
Jailing her, the judge said: "You were not in the same position as a teenage mother in the middle of the night on her own trapped in a flat without anyone to help her."
Mitigating, Bernard Richmond QC highlighted "worrying features" of the case which led to a "moment of madness".
He said: "She was a young woman with a very limited amount of training with a baby who had obviously very difficult needs."
He told the court the defendant, who was paid Â£3.60 an hour, also lacked "resilience".
Tautz, of Holly Park Road, Barnet, had denied manslaughter and said she never got "angry" or "frustrated" with the baby.
The Old Bailey jury convicted her with a majority verdict of 10 to 2 after deliberating for nearly seven hours.


An actor who used to be Katy Perry's boyfriend is suspected of killing his landlady before being found dead, according to police in Los Angeles.

Johnny Lewis, who was in The O.C. but was most famous for his role in US TV drama the Sons of Anarchy, is thought to have fallen or jumped to his death from where he lived near Hollywood.
Police went to the house in the Los Feliz area of the city on Wednesday.
The body of 81-year-old Catherine Davis was found inside.
Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Commander Andrew Smith said: "She was possibly beaten, although coroner's officials will determine the exact cause of death."
Neighbours are reported to have heard a woman screaming at the property.
The 28-year-old actor had rented a room from Catherine Davis for a short period of time.
"Although there are no witnesses, he is suspected of killing her," Commander Smith said.
"No-one was at home at the time and the investigators were not seeking anyone else for the crime."
Neighbours also told officers that a man had jumped a fence, assaulted a painter and homeowner and jumped back.
Police said they were both treated for minor injuries.
Commander Smith said: "At some point, Johnny jumped or fell from the home's roof, garage, balcony, stairs or patio area."
It is not yet clear how he died.
Johnny Lewis had a criminal record and earlier this year was treated for drug, alcohol and psychiatric problems.
He was released from Los Angeles County jail a week ago, according to the county sheriff's website.
The star, whose full name was Jonathan Kendrick Lewis, was romantically linked with Katy Perry from 2006 for about 18 months.
It's thought two of her songs The One That Got Away and Circle the Drain were inspired by him.
His acting career spanned more than a decade, with mainly small roles.
He was best known for playing Kip Epps in US cable TV show the Sons of Anarchy, which was about a motorcycle gang.
In The O.C. he played Dennis "Chili" Childress for two seasons.
More prominent film roles included a part in film Aliens vs Predator - Requiem in 2007 and the 2010 movie The Runaways starring Kristen Stewart.
"It's a terrible tragedy," added Commander Smith.
"The best we're piecing together now is that some type of altercation occurred resulting in the death of the woman."


A Belfast man arrested for rioting after tagging himself on social media has been given a two-year sentence.

Robert Darragh, 21, from Hopewell Crescent in the Shankill area was identified by police after he twice tagged himself as being present during a riot.
The serious disorder broke out in the Woodvale/Twaddell area last July.
He will spend half his sentence in prison, with the remainder served on licence.
Trouble flared following a Parades Commission determination not to allow a loyalist flute band to pass by the nationalist Ardoyne shop fronts area on July 13.
A total of 29 police officers were injured during the rioting after police lines were pelted with masonry, bricks, bottles and other items, with one officer almost losing an ear.
A prosecution lawyer told Belfast Crown Court that Darragh was captured on CCTV "on numerous occasions" throwing items at police lines.
The court heard that during the riot, Darragh covered his face and had his hood up in a bid to disguise his appearance.
However, he was pictured sitting on a wall with his face uncovered prior to involving himself in the riot.
The crown lawyer  said that following the riot, police trawled through social media and discovered that Darragh had tagged himself as the man sitting on the wall, and had again tagged himself as one of the males rioting on the Woodvale Road.
He subsequently admitted a single charge of rioting.
A defence lawyer said that when questioned by police about his involvement, Darragh made the case that he could not remember as he had been on a three-day binge, and that he had expressed shame for his actions.
The lawyer said there was "nothing to suggest any police officer was injured as a result of anything" Darragh did.


Negotiations with Iran about its nuclear programme will continue despite US Secretary of State John Kerry's recent injury, US officials say.

Mr Kerry, 71, was cycling in France when he hit kerb and broke his leg.
He arrived back in the US late on Monday and will be treated at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
It remains unclear how his injury will affect his work as the top diplomat for the US.
He is due to have surgery later on Tuesday.
On the flight back Mr Kerry tweeted with #Onward, "Headed back to Boston. Look fwd to getting leg set & getting back to @StateDept! Meantime, work goes on."
Mr Kerry had been holding talks over the future of Iran's nuclear program in Geneva, Switzerland, one day before his accident.
Experts see any potential agreement as a key diplomatic achievement for the Obama administration.
The deadline to build on the already achieved "framework agreement" is the 30 June.
State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf told reporters on Monday the deadline would not change.
"To be very clear, the secretary is absolutely committed to moving forward with the negotiations, to proceeding with them on the exact same timetable as before his accident," Ms Harf said.
Mr Kerry was unable to attend recent scheduled meetings in Madrid and Paris in person.
Mr Kerry remotely participated in Monday's Paris conference, which has convened the nations who oppose IS.
"I would love to see anyone at the hospital try to stop @JohnKerry from negotiating and working while recovering from breaking his leg," tweeted Jen Psaki, a former State Department spokeswoman.
Medical experts have told US media that it often takes six months to recover from a fractured femur.
Since the accident, Mr Kerry has spoken to President Barack Obama and to Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, according to the State Department.


Police have released a CCTV image of a missing teenage boy from Glasgow who is believed to have travelled to England.

Thanh Van Bui, 15, was last seen in the city's Pollokshields area, where he lives, at about 07:45 on Friday.
CCTV cameras later recorded him within Central Station, where he spoke to a man and woman, before boarding a train bound for England.
Police have appealed for the man and woman, or anyone who knows them or Thanh's whereabouts, to get in touch.
Det Insp Colin Hailstones, of Police Scotland, said: "Given Thanh's age we are concerned about his wellbeing and safety.
"We've been following up several lines of inquiry into his current location."
Det Insp Hailstones said Thanh was filmed on CCTV in Central Station at about 12:15 on Friday.
"Thanh is seen on CCTV speaking to a man and woman," he said.
"I am very keen to trace these individuals as they may have vital information that could assist with our inquiry."
The man with Thanh is described as Asian. He was wearing blue denims and a light coloured polo style shirt and sunglasses.
The woman was wearing a short sleeve V-neck top, with pale blue sleeves and shoulders and dark blue lower half of the top.
She was wearing sunglasses on her head and a black pushchair.
Det Insp Hailstones urged both the man and woman to get in touch.
He added: "Similarly, I would like to speak to anyone who can identify the man and woman to get in touch. It is imperative that we are able to find Thanh safe and well."
Thanh is described as 5ft 4in tall, and of slim build with short dark hair. He was last seen he was wearing a black jacket, grey zipper top, jeans and grey trainers.


Manager Derek McInnes is "really calm" about Aberdeen's current form and insists his side can prove their worth again this season.

Last season's Premiership runners-up are seven points behind second-placed Rangers following last week's 2-1 defeat at Ross County.
The Dons have a game in hand and though he accepts their season has been "stop-start", McInnes is optimistic.
"I've got every faith in the players," McInnes said.
"We're disappointed we haven't won more games but I totally trust in what we do," added the Dons boss.
"Where we're judged, we're judged against teams with far bigger resource.
"In three-and-half years, we've spent £200,000 putting this team together in Kenny McLean - that's the only money we've spent. We have tried to work extremely hard at all other areas of our football department and how we work as a team Monday-to-Friday.
"The players are honest, hard-working boys who are desperate to get back to winning ways. Outside factors have no bearing on my team. We concentrate on ourselves. I'm really calm about it.
"I don't put myself out there to read too much. I just concentrate on what I can affect. I'm aware that there's reaction and comment to that. That happens when you don't win games."
McInnes, 45, led the Dons to victory in the 2014 Scottish League Cup final and they reached the final of this season's tournament, only to lose 3-0 to Celtic.
Last year's league finish was the second year in a row Aberdeen finished behind winners Celtic.
Asked about suggestions he had taken the team as far as he could, McInnes replied: "We aim to prove otherwise."
The Pittodrie boss hopes the upcoming games against Motherwell [away, Friday], Hamilton Academical [home, Tuesday] and Hearts [away, next Friday] will give his side the chance to build momentum.
"We fully expect to have expectation if we don't get results," he added. "You'll never please everybody all the time anyway, even when you're winning games but we've still lots to look forward.
"So many points to play for, so many opportunities to go and show we're a good team this season and we aim to do that.
"We don't want to live on the back of what's been achieved. We want to do well in the Scottish Cup, we've been to one cup final and we want to try to make sure we secure European football and push as hard as we can to finish as high as we can in the league."


Campaigners in Powys want the route of a £56m road altered to save a 500-year-old oak tree.

The Newtown bypass, aimed at easing congestion in the town, is subject to a public inquiry.
Mervyn Jones owns the land the tree sits on and believes unless the road is built 15 metres away, the roots will be damaged and it will die.
A Welsh government spokesman said it is "aware of the issues" and is awaiting the outcome of the public inquiry.
Mr Jones told BBC Radio Wales: "We're not trying to stop the bypass, we just want to save the tree."
A campaign group on Facebook in support of saving the tree has 3,000 members.
The Welsh government spokesman said: "We are awaiting the outcome of a public inquiry. We will obviously give further consideration to the concerns raised."

A banned driver who flipped his car over a hedge after reaching almost 100mph with a four-year-old passenger inside has been jailed for 12 months.

Scott Tony Smith, from Stanley, County Durham was trying to escape from police when he crashed in October.
Smith, 23, admitted dangerous driving, driving while disqualified and child cruelty and was sentenced at Durham Crown Court.
The three occupants of the car escaped with minor injuries.
The judge said it was a "miracle" no-one was killed.
Video taken from the police car's on-board camera was played at Durham Crown Court before Smith was sentenced.
It emerged the boy was only strapped in with an adult's seatbelt, rather than a child safety seat.
A woman was also in the car and told police she begged Smith to stop, saying: "The bairn's in the car, but he replied 'I know, I'm sorry'."
Police began following Smith after reports of a car being driven erratically in Stanley on 29 October.
An officer started to follow him and Smith immediately sped up, leading police on a three-minute high-speed chase, through the villages of The Middles and Craghead.
The patrol car had to reach 97mph to keep up with the MG.
Smith narrowly missed a van at about 80mph, before losing control at a junction and flipping the car over a hedge.
Durham Police said the pursuit would probably have been called off if the officer had known a child was on board.
Judge Robert Adams told Smith: "You could have killed somebody. It is a miracle you did not."
"This is the first time you will lose your liberty. I hope it emphasises the risks you posed to other people."
Smith, who was banned from driving in March, suffered from mental health problems and "is a young man who has limitations", his barrister said.
He has now been banned from driving for two years.


Next week, Maggie Lieu will find out if she'll have to give up EVERYTHING for a one-way trip to Mars.

The 24-year-old, who's doing a PhD in astronomy and space at the University of Birmingham, is down to the last 600 of 200,000 applicants for the Mars One mission.
If she gets through, she'll spend the next 10 years training for the project.
The mission aims to send teams of four to the red planet every two years from 2025, until 40 people are living there.
The Dutch project is privately funded and needs to raise around Â£4bn to send up the first group. So far it's raised around Â£500,000 (so it's 1/8000th of the way there).
It's one of several projects aiming to put the first humans on Mars, but this one plans to let a reality TV show decide who goes and broadcast life on Mars.
Maggie, who lives in Coventry, is one of several Britons shortlisted for the mission and we had a lot of questions for her.
"If we were to come back it would cost a lot more money.
"You'd have to transport a lot more fuel and there's nowhere to launch rockets from on Mars.
"There are also health risks with coming back to earth because the long term effects of the low gravity on Mars will affect our bone density and muscles.
"Astronauts who go to the International Space Station are pretty much disabled when they come back, they have to learn to walk again.
"It might be that our bones are so brittle, that just the impact of landing on earth would crush our bodies."
"It's true I'll never be able to see my family and friends ever again in person, but I'll be able to see their pictures, I'll still have access to the internet.
"I can write emails home and talk as humans do all over the world.
"That'll be good enough for me because the people I'd go to Mars with I'd have spent 10 years with.
"That's pretty much half my life so far so they'll pretty much be my new family and friends."
"At first they thought I was crazy and didn't really believe it was true.
"Now they're a little bit scared. Everyone keeps telling me "don't go getting selected".
"My mum still doesn't think it's real, she keeps joking with me saying: "When are you going to move out? When you go can I have all your money?"
"If I really did go I think my mum would be quite upset.
"She's only got one daughter, but I did go away to university for a whole year and it wasn't that bad because I called home every day."
"I do feel a little bit guilty because if I get selected I'll have the choice of whether to leave everything behind or not.
"That is kind of scary for me just having the choice.
"In some ways I think at least I've tried to go to Mars and if they don't select me at least I don't have to make the choice."
"That would be horrible.
"I won't be able to contact home or have any communications with earth, but hopefully we'd be able to repair it because we'll be trained up in every skill we need.
"We'll be trained electricians, doctors, plumbers, anything we need on earth."
"I'm very open to having a baby on Mars. I think it would be really exciting to be the mother of the first ever baby born there.
"My baby could be the first ever Martian, we'd be the Adam and Eve of Mars.
"But I'm also pretty aware there are a lot of risks involved because you don't know what the gravitational effects are."
"One-in-three missions to Mars fail, so it's pretty likely the rocket would explode before we got there.
"Then there's no technology at the moment to vent the oxygen on Mars.
"So if we're producing loads of oxygen we have to maintain it to a suitable level, similar to earth.
"If we make too much we'll cause a huge hazard of fire."
"On the International Space Station they wear disposable clothes because there's no washing machine.
"When we leave we'll have to wear special masked suits that are pressurised and suitable for the temperatures (-60C).
"We'll spend our lives in inflatable domes with a bedroom, a living room, a workspace and a plant room where we'll grow our food.
"When we get to Mars there will be showers. We'll produce our own water from the soil.
"But the journey there is anything between six and nine months and during that time there are no showers. There's only very limited water so we'll have to use wet wipes for six to nine months.  It's kind of gross."
"We're going to grow our own food so it's going to be pretty much a vegan diet. Lettuce has been experimented on and grown on Mars.
"Potentially we could be eating insects because they've got high protein so we could take an ant farm or something and eat ants. I don't really crave much."
"The project isn't fully funded yet. I think Mars One will definitely generate a lot of interest in humans going to Mars.
"Nasa and the European Space Agency have shown an interest in getting humans to go to Mars since this project started.
"So I think eventually someone will do it - whether it's Mars One is another question."

An Indonesian girl swept away in the 2004 tsunami has been reunited with her parents seven years on, the family say.

Meri Yulanda, also known as Wati, turned up at a cafe in Meulaboh, Aceh, earlier this week, looking for her parents.
She says she was found by a widow after the disaster and forced to work as a beggar, being freed only last week.
Indonesia's northern province of Aceh was the worst hit by the Boxing Day tsunami, which killed 230,000 people.
Tens of thousands of bodies were never recovered and many families never found out what happened to their loved ones.
There has been no independent verification of Meri's story.
Meri, who is aged 14 or 15 according to different reports, returned to her hometown remembering only the name of her grandfather, Ibrahim.
Someone at the cafe knew a man by that name and got in touch.
"When I saw my mother, I knew it was her. I just knew it," she said.
"When she saw her mother she yelled 'mama' and ran toward her," her father, Tarmius, told AFP by telephone.
"Both of them hugged each other and cried," he said, according to the Associated Press news agency.
Her mother, who had given up hope of seeing Meri again, said she had not immediately recognised her daughter.
"The birthmarks on her belly, and a mole and scar on her face proved that the little girl was mine," her mother, Yusnidar, told AFP.
The 35-year-old added: "I cannot tell you how grateful I am."
Meri and her sister were separated from their parents when the Asian tsunami struck the village of Ujong Baroh on the Aceh coast.
After the disaster, Yusnidar and Tarmius travelled to different districts to search for their lost daughters but could not find them. Their eldest daughter is still missing.
About 168,000 people were killed in Aceh province alone in the tsunami.
Many families continue to hold out hope for finding their loved ones, but reunions are rare. Many of those announced in recent years have turned out to be untrue.


Tottenham right-back Kieran Trippier limped off with an ankle injury in the friendly win over Juventus just a week before the start of the Premier League.

Spurs beat the Italian side 2-0 at Wembley in their final fixture before the new league campaign but Trippier was withdrawn shortly before half-time.
"We hope it's not a big issue. It's his ankle," Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino said of the 26-year-old.
"He's better now than he was at half-time, but we must wait."
After England right-back Kyle Walker left the north London club to sign for Manchester City, Trippier had been expected to be Spurs' first-choice right-back this term.
If the former Burnley full-back is sidelined, 20-year-old Kyle Walker-Peters could be in line for his Premier League debut when Tottenham travel to Newcastle on Sunday, 13 August.
Trippier had provided the cross for Harry Kane's opening goal against the 2017 Champions League finalists, before Christian Eriksen netted the second after the break.


Police have begun an investigation after a man was attacked and robbed in a close in Dundee.

The 57-year-old entered the building in Provost Road at about 23:00 on Saturday night, when he was approached by a man and a woman.
The man was described as being 5ft 8in, with short, dark hair. He was wearing a dark-coloured scarf around his neck.
The woman was also 5ft 8in, with dark hair which was worn up. She was wearing a beige puffer jacket.
The pair stole the man's wallet. Police said he did not need hospital treatment.


A man who killed his mother's former boyfriend with a single punch has been jailed for four-and-a-half years.

Richard Brady, 33, accused Alistair Balfour, 68, of tampering with his car in a row in the Montgomerie Arms pub, in East Kilbride, on 8 June last year.
He punched Mr Balfour, causing him to fall backwards and hit his head on the floor. Mr Balfour died after suffering two skull fractures.
Brady was jailed after admitting a charge of culpable homicide.
Passing sentence at the High Court in Edinburgh, judge Lord Turnbull told Brady that he had no other option but to imprison him.
He added: "Your conduct resulted in a man losing his life. I must impose a sentence that reflects the seriousness of this offence."
Lord Turnbull also told Brady that if he had not pleaded guilty, he would have been jailed for six years.
A previous hearing at the High Court in Glasgow heard that Mr Balfour had been married for 47 years and had an extra-marital affair with Brady's mother, which ended in bad terms on Christmas Day 2012.
As a result of this, Brady and Mr Balfour fell out.
They reported each other to the police for vandalism and breach of the peace, but no action was taken because of insufficient evidence.
The court heard that Brady, who is from East Kilbride, entered the pub and accused Mr Balfour of putting sugar in the tank of his car.
He became aggressive and asked if they would take the matter outside.
As Mr Balfour put his hands in his pockets, Brady hit him with a single punch. He fell backwards and lay motionless on the floor.
The court heard that Mr Balfour suffered two fractures to his skull, bruising to his mouth and two black eyes. The cause of death was a head injury.


A criminal investigation has started into the death of a man in police custody who had been detained under the Mental Health Act.

Leon Briggs, 38, from Luton, died after being held following concerns about his behaviour in the town on Monday.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said it believed "that potential criminal offences may have been committed".
The offences could include negligence or manslaughter, it said.
IPCC Commissioner Mary Cunneen said: "Following a review of the evidence gathered so far, I have determined that this will be a criminal investigation. We are still in the early stages of this investigation and it is important that we do not pre-judge the findings.
"However, at this stage we believe there is an indication that potential criminal offences may have been committed including gross negligence and/or unlawful act manslaughter, misconduct in public office, and/or offences under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.
"We will also be considering whether any potential disciplinary offences have been committed."
Members of the public raised the alarm when they became worried about Mr Briggs's behaviour in Marsh Road, Luton, and he was taken into custody.
Ms Cuneen said: "IPCC investigators have obtained and reviewed CCTV from the custody suite at Luton police station and at the junction of Marsh Road and Willow Way.
"A number of independent witnesses have been identified, accounts have been taken and IPCC investigators will continue to interview witnesses over the coming days. Local businesses have also provided CCTV footage to assist our investigation.
"But we still believe there are a number of other people who may have seen Leon on Monday and we are keen to speak to them, particularly if you were in the Marsh Road area or outside Luton police station."
Anyone with information is asked to contact the IPCC investigation team.
Mr Briggs' family issued a statement saying: "Leon was a loving father, son and brother. He was a kind, loyal, intelligent, caring person who put his family and others first.
"It is important to us to see the seriousness with which the IPCC are approaching the investigation into Leon's death."


It's a strange phenomenon - teenagers opting to return to the classroom over the Easter Holidays.

But the annual Easter School at St Mary's University College Belfast drew more than 250 pupils from across the west of the city this week.
Classes are targeted at those who require extra support in preparation for GCSE Maths and English.
Four days of tuition are offered to schoolchildren who are at risk of not achieving a pass grade.
Geraldine McAteer of the West Belfast Partnership Board, which manages the programme, said demand for places is high and pupils are "incredibly keen" to take part.
Ms McAteer puts the popularity of the classes down to the environment and ethos of the school, which is one of "relaxed but focused learning".
"They're mixing with children their own age, from other schools, in their own clothes, their civvies," she said.
"They're in a university environment, working with different tutors and university students who volunteer to shepherd them around. So it has actually gained a reputation as quite a fun experience.
"A grade C is a passport to so much, so this is to help get them over the line," said Ms McAteer.
Maths tutor Jim Stott said the additional support often provides the encouragement students require to keep on studying at a time when their predicted grades may discourage them.
"They're keen to tell you what exact areas they need more support with.
"It may be trigonometry or algebra, so we break them up into small groups and when they're getting the extra attention, they soak it up. They're really committed to it.
"It's very relaxed - I'm not standing at a board talking to children, the children are taking part in it. Sometimes they're at the board.
"Pupils tend to gel together very well. They're not necessarily from the same schools, and that's part of the attraction - they like to mix with young people from other schools."
Ms McAteer explained that the Â£25 fee is waived for those who cannot afford it.
"This is a great social justice model," she said.  "We raise money from the Department of Education which enables us to pay for tutors and hire of premises.
"There are some people who can afford to pay that amount per hour. But this is 16 to 20 hours tuition for Â£25.
"But if we find out from the school that a family can't afford that cost, it's overlooked. Our main aim is to get the pupils in, to give them assistance, to get them to pass."
Ms McAteer said the West Belfast Partnership Board hope to roll the programme out to other parts of the city over time.


A couple who trafficked a 10-year-old girl to the UK and kept her as a servant for almost a decade have had their sentences increased.

Ilyas Ashar, 84, who repeatedly raped the girl at his Salford home, had his sentence extended from 13 years to 15 years by the Court of Appeal.
His wife, Tallat Ashar, 69, had her sentence increased from five years to six years.
The couple were originally sentenced at Manchester Crown Court in October 2013.
Ilyas Ashar was found guilty of 13 counts of rape as well as benefit fraud and trafficking.
Tallat Ashar was convicted of benefit fraud and trafficking.
The Court of Appeal increased the sentences on an application by Solicitor General Oliver Heald QC, who argued that they were unduly lenient.
Greater Manchester Police said the pair claimed thousands of pounds of benefits in the girl's name, while she was made to clean and cook at several houses belonging to the family.
The girl, now in her 20s, was found in the "sparse, cold and damp" cellar in 2009 by trading standards staff investigating allegations of illegal activity.


One German newspaper has described Volkswagen's rigging of emission tests as the "most expensive act of stupidity in the history of the car industry".

To that might be added that VW could now be entering one of the longest legal nightmares in corporate history.
The legal fallout from the scandal is potentially so vast and its tentacles so international and numerous that it lends credence to the joke: "These days there are two types of lawyer.  Those instructed by Volkswagen and those about to be instructed by Volkswagen."
Thus far, at least 10 government authorities around the world have opened investigations into VW. That number could grow.
On 18 September, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the US announced that VW had violated the Clean Air Act by unlawfully installing software into diesel cars between 2009 and 2015 that allowed the cars to cheat emissions tests. That meant they were emitting toxic gases up to 40 times above permitted levels.
VW admitted that 11 million cars worldwide were fitted with the software. It is now being investigated in the US, South Korea, France, Italy, Canada, Germany and the UK. Australia says it is monitoring the situation.
So, let's start with the possible criminal liability of the company and its staff in the US. The admission of corporate dishonesty by VW's American CEO Michael Horn makes some kind of criminal liability there look likely.
The US Department  of Justice (DoJ) and New York regulators have opened criminal probes, others could follow. And there simply couldn't be a worse time to be a VW executive on the receiving end of such investigations.
On 9 September 2015, the Department of Justice issued a new policy memorandum, signed by Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, covering the prosecution of individuals in corporate fraud cases. Entitled "Individual Accountability for Corporate Wrongdoing" it is more commonly known as "the Yates Memorandum".
It places a much stronger focus on the investigation and prosecution of corporate executives than ever before.  Previously there was a sense that if companies "fessed up" and co-operated with investigators, key individuals would be spared.  Not now.
The memo makes clear that: "To qualify for any co-operation credit whatsoever, in both criminal and civil cases, corporations under investigation must provide DoJ with all relevant facts about the individuals involved in corporate misconduct."
Michael O'Kane, a partner at the law firm Peters & Peters says: "Investigators are now bound to go after key individuals from the start.
"They must follow the evidence in emails, documents, minutes of meetings etc, to find out who knew or connived in the rigging in order to find the most culpable and senior individuals."
Bad news for any individuals at VW involved in the rigging. But bad news also for the company. The US is a country that takes white collar and environmental crime very seriously.
The EPA, which is still investigating VW, could levy fines of up to $18bn (Â£11.8bn).
The DoJ's Environmental Division can prosecute civil and criminal charges against individuals and companies, as can state prosecutors.
It is also worth noting that it is much easier to prosecute a company in the US than in the UK.
In the US any criminal act by an employee criminalises the company. In the UK the act has to be at board level or equivalent because the prosecution has to prove the crime was committed by a "controlling mind" of the company.
It is important not to rush to guilt.  VW may have defences to criminal charges if the software in the cars was installed for a legitimate purpose.
Prosecutors would need to prove an intention to rig the tests.  That does not apply in civil cases.
VW isn't the only car manufacturer to face a US criminal investigation.
Last year, Toyota agreed to pay $1.2bn to settle a claim that it concealed a technical problem with brakes, accelerator pedals and floor mats in its cars which caused some vehicles to accelerate suddenly.
This month, General Motors agreed to pay $900m for concealing an ignition-switch defect.
Both GM and Toyota entered what are known as "deferred-prosecution agreements" that give them time to put their house in order and can mean that criminal charges are dropped at a later date - a kind of corporate probation period.
That might seem an attractive option for VW, but prosecutions for environmental crimes by the DOJ have required companies to either plead guilty or take their chances at a trial.
But if the "rigging" was planned abroad, could the US get hold of any VW executive or employee based in Germany?
The challenge for the US is that the German constitution prohibits any German national from being extradited outside the EU.
What the US has done in other cases to get their man is issue an Interpol Red Notice, preventing the suspect leaving Germany. This tends to result in the executive agreeing a plea deal in the US, in exchange for the Red Notice being lifted.
It is worth noting that if an offence was committed under UK law and UK prosecutors seek the extradition of VW executives, the extradition issue is not a problem as Germany has to extradite its nationals within the EU under the European Arrest Warrant scheme.
In addition to possible prosecutions of the company and its staff by state authorities, there is the not small matter of civil claims brought by individuals or groups.
These consist of customers suing for breach of contract because VW misrepresented the emission levels of the vehicles. Group actions are inevitable here and are likely to take place in all of the countries where "rigged" cars were sold.
There are already reports of class actions being filed in a number of US states and in Canada.
Bob Clifford, a partner at Clifford Law Offices in Chicago and a lead lawyer in the 9/11 litigation, filed a class action on behalf of VW customers on Tuesday.
"Actions will be filed in district courts around the country," he says. "These will be consolidated in a 'multi-district litigation', resulting in one very large overall claim to be heard in front of a single federal judge."
VW dealerships could also bring group actions for breach of contract if they were misled and the company's shareholders could sue following the loss in value of their shares.
There could in addition be actions taken by groups of asthma sufferers affected by the increased emissions or by environmental groups seeking to hold VW to account.
Bearing in mind the admissions already made by the company, "no win, no fee" lawyers will be amassing in large numbers on the outskirts of courts.
Expect a rash of those annoying unsolicited phone calls and texts. After all, potentially 11 million people have to be contacted.
Even heavily polluted clouds have sliver linings... if you are a lawyer. This one looks like solid gold.
And if other car manufacturers are involved in the scandal, you can upgrade that lining to platinum.


Masked robbers posing as policemen have stormed a safe deposit centre in the Paris suburb of Orly, killing one guard and injuring two others.

After blocking the street with a burning car, they blew in the door of the centre, before blowing open the strong box inside, French media say.
When police arrived to investigate the car fire, they fled, apparently empty-handed, firing machine-guns.
A police representative described the gang as a "real combat unit".
Luc Poignant, from police trade union Unite-SGP Police, told Le Parisien newspaper that a safe deposit centre had not been targeted for several years, and Wednesday's assault took armed robbery "up a rung".
The gang, said to number between four and six people and dressed in police "night intervention" dress, struck at 05:55 (03:55 GMT) as security guards were changing shifts at the centre, used by the security company Temis.
One of the guards behind the door had his legs blown off by the first explosion and died, while another two were injured by the blast wave. Other guards took refuge inside the centre.
When police arrived about five minutes after the robbery began, the gang exchanged fire with them using assault rifles, before fleeing to the A6 motorway in two cars.
At one point, they seized a passer-by as a hostage but released him unharmed after 10 minutes.
Following the robbery attempt, police sealed off a large area of Orly, deploying forensics and sapper teams, Le Parisian adds.


Rory McIlroy has picked up the European Tour Golfer of the Year award for the third time in four years.

The 26-year-old from Northern Ireland enjoyed three tour victories in 2015 to win the Race to Dubai title ahead of Englishman Danny Willett.
McIlroy triumphed despite an ankle injury which ruled him out of action for five weeks.
"I feel very proud to have won for a third time - it's always special to be recognised in this way," said McIlroy.
The world number three secured his first tour victory of 2015 at the Dubai Desert Classic, followed by success in the WGC-Cadillac Match Play in San Francisco in May.
Victory in the season-ending World Tour Championship last month ensured McIlroy also won the Race to Dubai title for a third time in four years.
"After a good first half to the season, the injury was obviously a setback for me, so to finish the year strongly with my second victory in Dubai, plus picking up the Race to Dubai title again, was very satisfying," added the four-times major winner.
"This was an objective I successfully fulfilled this season. To now also win the Golfer of the Year award is a great way to sign off the year.
"I am already looking forward to starting the new season and trying to achieve even more in 2016."


An 81-year-old former Koran teacher has denied he "touched" children at the Madina mosque in Cardiff.

Mohammed Haji Sadiq, who taught for 30 years until 2006, pleaded not guilty to 15 child sexual offences.
Speaking through a translator at Cardiff Crown Court, he denied ever touching a child in lessons although he "tapped" those misbehaving on the back.
He is accused of eight sexual assaults on a child under 13 by touching, and seven indecent assaults.
The allegations involve four girls aged between five and 11 and are said to have taken place between 1996 and 2006 at the mosque on Woodville Road.
Under questioning Mr Sadiq said he did not know the ages of the children he taught, how old the youngest was, or their names.
When asked why the allegations were being made, he said there was "a lot of politics going on in the mosque".
He told the court there were other teachers and worshippers in the mosque during his lessons for up to 30 children and his classroom door was open.
Mr Sadiq also said he did not take a register, with the jury told records were destroyed when the mosque burnt down in 2006.
The trial continues.


Scotland centre Mark Bennett has returned to training and has a "good chance" of playing in their Six Nations opener against England on Saturday.

Glasgow's Bennett, 23 on Wednesday, was due to resume contact work on Monday after suffering a shoulder injury against Racing 92 three weeks ago.
"It's his first day in terms of contact, so he's back in the mix," said Scotland assistant coach Matt Taylor.
"I think he has a good chance but he'll have to put his best foot forward."
Bennett has scored six tries in 13 Tests and was one of the stand-out performers in Scotland's World Cup campaign last autumn.
With fellow Glasgow centres Alex Dunbar, Peter Horne and Richie Vernon all ruled out of at least the start of the Six Nations - or in Vernon's case, the entire Championship - Bennett's possible availability would be a major boost.
"A fully-fit Bennett is a very good player," Taylor noted. "There is a reason he played so well in the World Cup, so it is great he is back in the mix."
Scotland wing Sean Maitland has also been declared fully fit after coming through a full game for London Irish on the weekend.
But Harlequins wing Tim Visser is still a "couple of weeks off" and unlikely to be available before Scotland's third Six Nations match against Italy in Rome.
With Matt Scott likely to start at inside centre, Bennett is competing with Saracens' Duncan Taylor for the number 13 jersey against England.
The in-form Taylor has been a vital source of intelligence on England's likely defensive set-up, with new Red Rose assistant coach Paul Gustard set to bring his famed 'wolf-pack' approach from Saracens into the national squad.
"I think Duncan is caught between a rock and a hard place," grinned Taylor. "He feels like he has been giving out all this information on how Saracens, and now England, are defending. That is hard when there are other guys in our group from the likes of Gloucester and Bath who can benefit.
"But that is international rugby. We have been talking about how they defend and Duncan gives us an insight into what to expect. But we will be trying to concentrate on what we do."


A new support service for survivors of childhood sexual abuse has been unveiled in Loughborough.

Reflections was founded by survivors of childhood abuse who want provide support to other victims.
Chairman Phil Lafferty said he has already started a petition calling for tougher sentencing for paedophiles.
Mr Lafferty said he hopes to meet with Justice Minister Michael Gove to discuss child abuse sentencing.
Education Secretary Nicky Morgan, who spoke at the launch of the group, said she supported the organisation's campaign on behalf of sexual abuse victims.
"We are survivors not professionals, we are trying to make a difference," Mr Lafferty said on the Reflections website.
"Reflections aims for survivors to unite and work together - we all need to pull together.
"By having meetings in regional areas and growing across Britain, we hope to become a central force for good in tackling the abuse that has happened to many of us."


Yorkshire rider Dean Harrison is targeting a first top-three finish at the North West 200 next month.

The 26-year-old from Bradford has also yet to complete a race on the Triangle circuit.
Harrison, who will compete for the Silicone Engineering team, won two races at last weekend's Scarborough Gold Cup.
"I want to see some chequered flags this year - if I could get on a podium I would be over the moon," he said.
He added: "That's what I'm aiming for, that's the plan. Anything more would be a bonus.
"Last year I fell off a couple of times and still to this day I don't know what happened.
"I don't want to go and break down or not finish. I want to get there and crack on with it.
"I want the bikes to be good and just keep going and going and going."


Novak Djokovic is through to the last four of the Miami Open after a 7-5 7-5 victory over Spain's David Ferrer.

The Serb will face John Isner in the second of Friday's semi-finals, following the American's 6-4 6-3 win over Japan's Kei Nishikori.
Britain's Andy Murray takes on Tomas Berdych in the first semi-final, which takes place at 18:00 BST.
Seven-time Miami champion Serena Williams will play Spain's Carla Suarez Navarro in Saturday's women's final.
Suarez Navarro upset German ninth seed Andrea Petkovic 6-3 6-3, while world number one Williams beat Indian Wells champion Simona Halep 6-2 4-6 7-5.
Williams, who has held top spot in the women's rankings for 110 weeks, said: "I hit more errors than I did in my last match, which I thought was impossible.
"I'm just not at my best level right now which is a little frustrating."
Ferrer, who was celebrating his 33rd birthday, took the opening three games against Djokovic, but was unable to keep up the pace as the world number one fought his way back into the match.
"I wasn't feeling the ball that great at the beginning, but I knew that I'm going to have my chances if I stayed committed, if I kept on working," said Djokovic, 27.
"I knew that he's a great competitor, that he grinds a lot, runs, and makes you play always an extra shot. That's why he's been top-10 player for so many years and he's tough to beat."
Isner became the first American man to reach the semi-finals since Mardy Fish in 2011, and has yet to be broken on serve this week.
"I played extremely well today," said the world number 24.
"I needed to play well in order to beat a player like Kei and that's what I did. From start to finish, I felt like I was aggressive. I was playing all the right shots and things just went my way."


Automatic gunfire was sprayed across a garage forecourt in Belfast, leaving a police officer injured.

Police Service of Northern Ireland's Chief Constable George Hamilton said a bullet-proof vest may have saved the injured officer's life.
He was shot at least twice in his right arm in the attack on the Crumlin Road on Sunday and had surgery overnight.
The PSNI is treating the attack as attempted murder and has released a photo of the suspected getaway car.
The red Audi was found burnt out in Culmore Gardens at about 20:00 GMT on Sunday.
A 36-year-old man has been arrested and police have said their main line of inquiry is "violent dissident republicans".
The injured officer is said to be "recovering well in hospital" but faces further surgery.
The chief constable said people were filling their cars with fuel at the garage when the shots were fired and there were "multiple strike marks on the forecourt".
He added that police now believe the attack was not a drive-by shooting but that a gunman fired shots from behind a fence, across the road from the petrol station.
"This is an attack on the entire community, people walking from the forecourt to their cars with bullets whizzing round them and striking the garage forecourt - completely reckless," he said.
"Whatever people's motivation for doing this, it is just crazy."
He added that the officer was "wearing ballistic body armour which may have helped".
Mr Hamilton said such incidents "don't happen on ad hoc or opportunistic way. So we'd be pretty convinced that this is a planned operation"
The chief constable added: "The use of violence for any sort of political objective hasn't worked in the past and it's certainly not going to work in the future."
The PSNI detective leading the investigation, Det Supt Kevin Geddes, said: "We have recovered bullets from a number of locations on the forecourt and in several cars."
He added that his officers were trying to trace the movements of a red Audi A4, registration number KNZ 2862.
He appealed for sightings of the getaway car on Flax Street and Crumlin Road at about 19:30 GMT on Sunday.
It was found burnt out in Culmore Gardens about 30 minutes later.
"I'd also like to hear from anyone who noticed this car and its movements during December 2016 up to last night's shooting," Mr Geddis added.
Northern Ireland Secretary James Brokenshire and the NI Justice Minister Claire Sugden have described the attack as "sickening".
Ms Sugden said there remained a significant terrorist threat in Northern Ireland "particularly against PSNI officers and indeed prison officers and that threat hasn't gone away with political instability, if anything it has been heightened.
"I had voiced my concerns at the outset of all the political instability that we need to be vigilant against this type of attack because I do think there will be people who will take that opportunity."
Assistant Chief Constable Mark Hamilton said the attack was "reckless madness" and warned that there could have been "multiple deaths".
"This was a very concerted attack on our officers - a very concerted attempt to murder them," he added.
Mark Lindsay, chairman of the Police Federation for Northern Ireland, said it was "an appalling act".
"This attack on the life of an officer is a stark reminder of the determination on the part of terrorists to murder and maim police officers," he said.
"They believe that by causing great grief to a family they are somehow advancing their warped and outdated plan. The wider community will be outraged by this attack on one of their police officers.
"This attempted murder underlines the fragility of our peace."
DUP leader Arlene Foster condemned the shooting and said it was "the work of cowards".
Sinn FÃ©in's Gerry Kelly said those responsible had "absolutely nothing to offer society and need to call a halt to these activities immediately".
The Social Democratic and Labour Party's Nichola Mallon said those involved in the attack were "calculating criminals intent on destabilising a community which continues to make strides toward reconciliation".
Alliance Leader Naomi Long said she believed they "intended to kill" and that "using guns in a residential area shows a callous disregard for the entire community".
Ulster Unionist leader Mike Nesbitt said: "We must find a way to end this."
The leader of the Traditional Unionist Voice (TUV), Jim Allister, said the incident was a "reminder of the wickedness and criminality of all terrorism".


Africa could feed itself if trade restrictions were reduced and fertile land was put to good use, according to the World Bank.

Just 5% of African cereal imports come from other African countries, it said.
Removing cross-border barriers would free up trade, reduce prices and generate billions of dollars for African governments, it added.
The bank estimates there are almost 20 million people affected by hunger in the Sahel region of West Africa.
"Too often borders get in the way of getting food to homes and communities which are struggling with too little to eat," said Makhtar Diop, World Bank vice-president for Africa.
Trade restrictions also raise the price of food to consumers and reduce the incentive for farmers to produce, as they receive only a small proportion of the end price.
High transport costs, including roadblocks and bribes at border posts, as well as strict rules restricting the use of high yielding seeds and more effective fertilisers, exacerbated the problem, the bank said.
"The challenge is how to create a competitive environment in which governments embrace credible and stable policies that encourage private investors and businesses to boost food production across the region," said the bank's Paul Brenton.
Food prices are rising across the world following severe droughts in many countries and are approaching record levels seen last year and in 2008, a year which saw food price riots in many African nations.
The bank does not believe, however, that the situation is as dire as in previous years, because inventories of crops are higher and major producers have not introduced export bans.

Scotland's first minister has been speaking of the "conflict" she felt ahead of agreeing to a photo shoot with fashion magazine Vogue.

A feature on Nicola Sturgeon appeared in the publication's October edition.
She spoke at length to writer Susie Rushton and had pictures taken by fashion photographer Benjamin McMahon.
Ms Sturgeon told journalists she did "sometimes suffer from a bit of internal conflict" about whether she should take part in such photo shoots.
She said comments about her appearance were often "written in the most hideous and quite cruel way".
The SNP leader added: "I have the dilemma of knowing whatever I do people are going to talk about what I wear and what my hair looks like, and I could and, maybe should, just decide that I'm not going to engage with that on any level.
"Or I can decide, as I sometimes do, that I'll try to turn it into a positive in some way."
Ms Sturgeon went on to explain that she was keen to promote Scottish designers by wearing their clothes.
"But you will find people with different opinion, sometimes I'm a bit internally conflicted by it," she added.
Ms Sturgeon quipped that since Jeremy Corbyn's election as Labour leader, "male politicians are getting talked about for what they wear just as much as female politicians".
She added: "His dress sense has been subject to as much commentary over the past couple of weeks as mine has been."


Productivity is better in bigger firms, according to analysis from the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

The ONS found that companies with more than 50 employees had significantly higher output per worker than smaller firms between 2008 and 2014.
It also found that only the biggest companies - those employing more than 250 employees - still have lower productivity than they did in 2008.
Low productivity has been partly blamed for the low wage growth since 2008.
Separate reports from the ONS have showed UK productivity is lagging considerably behind the other industrialised countries in the G7.
The analysis only covered non-financial businesses, which account for about two thirds of the UK economy.
Firms with fewer than 10 workers have seen the fastest productivity growth since 2009.
The ONS said the relatively fast growth among the smallest businesses may be due to, "changes to working patterns and practices or as a consequence of some unproductive firms ceasing trading, sometimes referred to as the 'cleansing' effect of a downturn".


Fewer than half of chemistry teachers in Welsh secondary schools have degrees in the subject, it has been revealed.

Only 49.8% of them are educated to chemistry degree standard - which is the worst figure in the UK.
In response, the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) launched a campaign on Wednesday to give students in Wales a world class science education.
The organisation is campaigning for the Welsh government to raise standards by 2020.
The RSC wants every chemistry pupil over 14 to be taught by a specialist teacher and all primary schools to have access to one.
"I was really lucky to have specialist chemistry teachers at my comprehensive school and tertiary college in Swansea," said the RSC's Jon Edwards.
"But many Welsh science students don't have that luck, their teachers need more support to be confident and knowledgeable about chemistry.
"Otherwise wise we risk falling even further behind both the rest of the UK and many countries around the world."
The Welsh government said it has introduced financial incentives to attract students to teaching science.
A spokesman said: "We want to support and encourage our best graduates to train to teach in Wales.
"That's why we've put in place new financial incentives of up to Â£20,000 for top postgraduate students who want to train to teach priority subjects such as maths, physics and chemistry in Wales.
"These incentives will continue to strengthen the quality of initial teacher training in Wales by encouraging the most talented graduates with high level subject specialism to enter teaching."


The Belfast Health Trust has been allocated £1m in order to send patients currently on waiting lists to be treated in the private sector instead, the BBC has learned.

The allocation was made at the start of February.
The money must be spent by the end of March 2017, according to an email seen by the BBC.
The email told medical staff to refer "long waiting patients suitable for the independent sector".
It said to refer those who require treatment for "spines, hip and knee, lower and upper limbs".
The news comes after the health minister said on Tuesday that more than £31m is required to treat patients who have been waiting more than a year for some appointments.
Michelle O'Neill said she was confident the money would be agreed after the election on 2 March.
The funding to the private sector does not include money to treat outpatients.
The email goes on to say that the £1m funding move does not affect any "in-house" funding, which the trust received in the past four months, and that staff can continue to backfill lists and carry out weekend work when teams are available.
While most people waiting may not mind when their operation is performed, it is understood that doctors and nurses would have preferred for the additional money be invested in the health service instead.
In 2015, when the then health minister allocated £40m towards waiting lists, the money could not be spent in time and only half of the amount when on operations.
That was because hospitals do not have the capacity or the staff to spend the money in such a short space of time.


A man who admitted brutally attacking his former friend over suspicions of breaking into his house has been jailed for six years for attempted murder.

Francis Kelly, 35, repeatedly hit 30-year-old Kenneth Heron with a wooden pole, a golf club and a knife in Nimmo Street, Greenock, on 21 May 2015.
The victim was unable to flee as he had become attached to a gate in the street by belt loops on his jeans.
Both men were drunk at the time and had little recollection of the attack.
Jailing Kelly at the High Court in Edinburgh, judge Lord Boyd told him that a custodial disposal was "inevitable".
The court heard how the two men, from Greenock, had been friends from September 2014 but fell out in January last year.
On the day of the attack, Mr Heron went to Kelly's house to drink after the pair resumed contact.
Following the attack, Kelly shouted at Mr Heron: "That's what you get for tanning my house. That's what you deserve."
The court heard that Mr Heron could "vaguely recall" being stuck to a front gate while he was assaulted by "someone". His next recollection was waking up in hospital.
Neighbours of Kelly saw Mr Heron tied to the gate by the belt loops of his jeans but detectives were unable to establish how he came to be there.
Eye witnesses saw Kelly bare-chested and covered in blood repeatedly attacking the victim.
He struck Mr Heron several times with a wooden pole before walking back into his house for a golf club which he then used to repeatedly strike the victim.
Neighbours then phoned 999 when they saw Kelly attacking him with a knife.
Police arrived shortly afterwards and arrested Kelly but he was not immediately interviewed as he was too drunk.
The victim was rushed to Inverclyde Royal Hospital in Greenock for emergency treatment.
After admitting a charge of attempted murder, Kelly's defence advocate Niall McCluskey told the court that his client "profoundly" regretted his actions.


The UK needs to do more for refugees on the move in Europe, an alliance of non-governmental organisations has said.

A report said Britain had fallen short so far in its moral responsibility to help those fleeing conflict and is "turning a blind eye" to their plight.
The coalition of 13 aid agencies said Europe's overall response to the migrant crisis was inadequate and the UK should show more leadership.
The organisations include Oxfam and the Refugee Council.
They point to the fact that more than half of last year's asylum claims on the continent were made in Germany and Hungary compared with just 3% in then UK.
The groups suggest Britain could devise a new humanitarian visa that would let those at risk claim asylum remotely from their country of origin, or from a transit country, rather than risking their lives on flimsy boats.
The report also expresses concern that reception centres in hotspots such as Greece and Italy are beginning to resemble detention centres run by military personnel.
This lacks humanity and stigmatises those seeking help as if they are a security threat, it says.
British Refugee Council chief executive Maurice Wren accused European leaders of lacking the "political leadership and moral courage" to tackle the crisis.
"Today we're presenting a roadmap for change which prioritises saving lives, solidarity and safe passage," he said.
"European governments, including the UK, must take a long hard look at themselves and ask is this the best they can do? We say that it doesn't have to be this way."
According to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, more than 135,000 migrants reached Europe by sea between January and March this year despite the creation of a European naval patrol in the Mediterranean and Aegean.


The operator of the Grangemouth refinery made a £16.3m loss in 2014, newly lodged accounts have shown.

Petroineos Manufacturing Scotland incurred the eight-figure loss in the year to 31 December despite increasing turnover to more than £240m.
The firm's strategic report said "the longer term outlook remains challenging in the current economic climate".
It also noted that a £32.8m "cost reduction challenge" was completed in 2014.
The firm's annual report, lodged with Companies House, noted that Ineos and Petroineos now operate as separate businesses, but remain integrated.
It said 2014 was "a busy year", with the overhaul of the plant's Hydrocracker Complex taking approximately half a million man-hours to complete.
Petroineos also said "trading conditions in the refining sector continued to be difficult" due to slow growth in Europe and competition from imports from other regions.
That year, the firm made a loss of more than £20m, and while total turnover increased from £215m in 2013 to £240m in 2014, the business still lost £16,396,000. As such no dividend was paid to shareholders.
The future of the petrochemical complex was in doubt in 2013, with Ineos at one point announcing the plant would close in the midst of a dispute with unions and staff.
The director's report submitted to Companies House said the company was reliant on parent firm Petroineos Trading Limited to meet the needs of the business in terms of financial risk management.
The Grangemouth refinery processes about 210,000 barrels of crude oil per day, providing fuel to Scotland, the north of England and Northern Ireland.


Five years ago, a 50-something woman living in a tumbledown 87-year-old building in Mumbai became the talk of the town for "standing up" to Donald Trump.

Reports described Smita Panvalkar, a homemaker, who lived with her husband, son and brother in the first floor of the building as a "gritty woman who stands between Donald Trump, easily the world's most glamorous real estate developer, and his first project in India".
In 2011, the real estate tycoon had teamed up with a local developer to construct a 65-storey Trump Tower - India's first - containing some 50 ultra-luxury apartments in an upscale neighbourhood.
In a land-starved island city with steeply priced real estate, most new construction is done after tearing down old buildings and compensating and re-housing the original tenants.
The fate of the four-storey Pathare Prabhu Building in which the Panvalkars lived since 1990, turned out to be no different. There were 25 other tenants who lived in poky fixed-rent apartments in the building in the posh south Mumbai neighbourhood of Chowpatty, not far away from one of the city's bustling beaches.
"We lived a simple life. Our life was fairly eventless until 2011," says Prasad Panvalkar. He paid a paltry rent of 185 rupees($2.7; £2.24) a month for his first floor, three-room, 560 sq ft apartment.
Sometime before this, news washed up in the city's real estate circles that Mr Trump was looking to launch a project in India. A well-known local developer, Rohan Lifescapes, swiftly moved in.
"We met him in New York and had four meetings. He showed interest in India and we briefed him on prospects in Mumbai. He even invited us to the shooting of [the reality show] The Apprentice at the Trump Tower," Harresh Mehta, chairman of Rohan Lifescapes, told me.
It didn't take much time for the tycoon and the developer to forge an agreement to build India's first Trump Tower in Mumbai: a gleaming, state-of-the-art 65-storey high-rise with about 50 apartments on a plot of more than 2,000 sq m. The local developer had acquired two neighbouring buildings in adjacent plots - including the one in which Mr Panvalkar lived - for building the tower. Launch prices were set between 40,000 and 50,000 rupees ($600-$750; £488-£610) per sq ft.
"It was a branding agreement. In exchange for royalties, we would use the Trump brand name. He wasn't investing any money. Trump is a famous name, and the branding would have helped in the appreciation of price," said Mr Mehta.
Back in the decaying building, the tenants had been informed in 2004 that the building would be "redeveloped". The majority of tenants had apparently consented to the move.
"But nothing happened until 2010. Then the developers came and informed us to vacate the building so that they could develop it."
Mr Panvalkar told me that his wife took the lead and flatly refused to move out.
"The developers offered compensation money and asked us to leave. Smita told them we won't leave the building unless they gave us an apartment in the new building. Much later we learnt that the building was named after Donald Trump, the famous American tycoon," he said.
The local press quickly found a heroine of resistance. "Woman who won't let Donald Trump Mumbai," headlined Mumbai Mirror. The newspaper described her as the "gritty 54-year-old woman who stands between Donald Trump and his first project in India".
"One lady stands in the way of Trump Tower Mumbai," another headline cheered. Ms Panvalkar is a "tough nut to crack", reported yet another newspaper.
By January 2011, the Panvalkars were the last people living in the decaying building. The 25 other tenants had left. The pipes leaked, and grime and dust covered the stairwells. In May, a small fire, blamed on a short circuit, shut down electricity for 45 days.
There was a time, Mr Panvalkar said, when he felt that they should leave the building. Again, his wife stood in the way and refused to budge.
"We lived and slept in the flat in the sweltering humidity and heat. Smita was overworked, doing the chores," he said.
When darkness fell in their heaving city, she would make food in the candlelight, and the family would sleep early. Ms Panvalkar, who was a diabetic, told a reporter that she was going without her medicines because the refrigerator was not working.
Mr Mehta told me there was "no pressure to evict the Panvalkars". He said the majority of tenants of the building had already moved out. "They [Panvalkars] were difficult tenants, but they could not have stalled the project," he said.
For the next six years, up until this June, the Panvalkars refused to budge, thwarting the demolition of the building. The planned luxury tower, Mr Mehta told me, ran into further problems: approvals were delayed and there were "regulatory issues". The project also ran foul of some existing building laws.
In 2013, Mr Trump moved on. Mr Mehta said they terminated the licensing deal with the tycoon as the project was stalled. "We had lost time and we had an amicable parting."
Mr Trump went ahead and tied up with another leading builder, Lodha Group, to build his branded tower.
Back at the building, life went on for its solitary occupants. Then tragedy struck. Last November, Ms Panvalkar died after suffering from a massive heart attack. "She had suffered from a lot of stress. She had diabetes and high blood pressure," Mr Panvalkar said.
"She was a quiet woman, but very determined. She was a fighter. I miss her a lot."
Smita Panvalkar had also put family before career. A trained textile designer, she had done freelance work at Mumbai's dwindling textile mills. She had taught in a school. After marriage, she had stopped working to bring up a family, and fought fiercely to stay in her home.
Mr Panvalkar said he continued to stay in the building to "honour Smita's commitment". He had filed more than a dozen right to information applications, lived without electricity, resisted three eviction orders from civic authorities, and fought in the courts.
In April last year, the Panvalkar finally moved out after reaching an agreement with Rohan Lifescapes who are now building a 22-storey apartment on the plot, a joint venture with another builder. The developers, he says, have agreed to provide him a 12th storey flat in the building when it's ready.
Finally, Mumbai will also have a 75-storey luxury Trump Tower in the Upper Worli neighbourhood.  It will have more than 400 apartments and a private jet facility. Deliveries will begin in 2018. A spokesperson of the group told me that 57% of the apartments, costing between $1.35m and $3.75m (£1.09m and £3.04m) had been already sold in advance.
'Your real estate is unbelievably cheap," Mr Trump famously said, when he finally visited Mumbai, one of the world's most expensive property markets, in 2014. He had also probably never heard of Ms Panvalkar.


Emergency services searching for a missing 64-year-old man in Snowdonia have found a body.

Stephen Longfellow, from Leeds, was last seen on 30 August when he spoke with walkers in Llanfihangel y Pennant, Gwynedd.
Police later found his car near the Tryfan mountain.
The body, found on Friday by Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue, was taken to Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor to be formally identified.
The coroner has been informed.
Chris Lloyd from the mountain rescue team said he believed the man had fallen "quite some distance".


A teacher was asked to remove his hoodie because it had the word "Islam" on the back - which is his surname - and was upsetting pub customers.

Nurul Islam, 32, was wearing his school sweatshirt, which all have surnames on, outside the Coach and Horses in Newgate Street, near Hertford, on Friday.
A member of staff said it was upsetting people after the Nice attack, he said.
A police hate crime officer is investigating what happened. The pub would not comment.
The technology teacher was waiting for a group of pupils from The Thomas Alleyne Academy, in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, who were on a Duke of Edinburgh assignment.
More news from Hertfordshire
The pub was the agreed meeting point.
"A staff member came outside and asked if I could I take off my jumper because it was making some customers feel uncomfortable 'after what happened last night'," Mr Islam said.
"I didn't know quite what to say, and at first I didn't link what he'd said with the lorry attack in France, but when it sank in I was shocked."
He went back to his car, leaving another teacher to wait for the pupils.
"I was being discriminated against because of my surname so I was left really upset after the incident.
"We all have surnames on the backs of our hoodies, which is the responsible thing to do."
Mr Islam added: "I'm not a practising Muslim but I am a Muslim.
"It makes me feel terrible that my name is the cause of such contention when all it means is peace.
"If I had the word 'peace' on there, would he still have asked me to leave?"
Miqdaad Versi, the assistant secretary-general of the Muslim Council of Britain said: "It's shocking and very worrying to see this growth in Islamophobia and bigotry.
"We need to really move beyond this, and the problem that we're facing is this type of attitude seems to be getting more prevalent in society and more socially acceptable."
Hertfordshire Police said: "A specialist hate crime officer is investigating to establish whether offences have been committed."


The Tate has been gifted works, valued in the region of £50m, by the late American artist Cy Twombly, who died in 2011 at the age of 83.

The pieces include three large canvases Untitled (Bacchus) 2006-8 and five bronze sculptures.
The gallery held a major retrospective of the artist in 2008.
Tate director, Sir Nicholas Serota, called it "one of the most generous gifts ever to Tate by an artist or a foundation".
Cy Twombly was one of the most important western artists to emerge from the machismo of 1950s Abstract Expressionism. Along with fellow countrymen and colleagues - Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns, - he was responsible for re-connecting American contemporary art with the poetic uncertainties and everyday simplicities of life.
The three large abstract paintings that form part of this gift are late works made between 2006 and 2008, which are themed around Bacchus - the Roman God of wine. They consist of huge, loosely painted, red circles that overlap and sprawl across the mighty canvasses. At first glance they may seem like nothing more than doodles, but given time their combined power and scale begins to affect the viewer's senses, in a way - the artist probably intended -  that's comparable to drinking a glass of red wine.
It was Cy Twombly's wish that these works - which the Tate has nominally valued at £50 million - go to the London-based institution. It considers the gift to be as significant as Mark Rothko's 1969 gift of his Seagram Murals. It is a bold but justifiable claim.
"It ranks alongside Rothko's gift of the Seagram mural paintings in 1969," he continued. "Together with Twombly's cycle of paintings The Four Seasons 1993-5, acquired in 2002, this gives an enduring place in London to the work of one of the great painters of the second half of the 20th Century."
The large-scale paintings, inspired by the Roman God Bacchus and his association with wine and debauchery were painted with a brush affixed to the end of a pole.
The five sculptures are all bronze casts of found objects, such as the top of an olive barrel.
Nicola Del Roscio, president of the Cy Twombly Foundation said: "On behalf of the Foundation, it is my great pleasure to honour Cy's wishes with this gift."
In 2012, a major collection of modern art - which included works by David Hockney and Lucian Freud - was donated to the gallery.


West Brom's bid to sign Federico Fazio from Tottenham has stalled.

The 28-year-old defender had a medical with the Baggies on Friday but no agreement has been reached over his personal terms.
There is a chance the deal could be resurrected as a loan move but manager Tony Pulis is looking at other options.
Meanwhile, Pulis says he might have to offer Spurs target Saido Berahino, 22, some protection from the ongoing transfer speculation.
The Baggies turned down a bid for Berahino from Tottenham on Tuesday.
"I told him not to get wrapped up in all the hype," said Pulis. "He's a young lad and he might need some protection."
Berahino is yet to score this season after managing 20 goals last term.
And Pulis accepts West Brom would not be able to hold off Tottenham forever should the offers continue to rise.
"I'm sure Tottenham wanted to keep Gareth Bale and Manchester United wanted to keep Cristiano Ronaldo," said Pulis.
He is expected to face Chelsea at The Hawthorns on Sunday.
"God has given him a great gift and he can't waste it. Lots of people have done that in the past. I just hope he's not one of them."

People's views on refugees and asylum seekers should try to be improved by ministers, a group of AMs has said.

The communities committee wants a publicity campaign like one in Scotland which encourages people to "have a cup of tea with a refugee".
Committee chairman John Griffiths said there was a misconception refugees get "better provision" than others.
A Welsh Government spokeswoman said it was committed to helping refugees "rebuild their lives".
The inquiry looked at how devolved services were working for refugees.
It said by the end of 2016, 397 Syrian refugees had come to Wales under the Syrian Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Scheme.
That is 12.81 per 100,000 people compared to 6.21 in England, 24.10 in Scotland and 19.41 in Northern Ireland.
The total number of refugees of all nationalities settled in Wales is estimated to be between 6,000 and 10,000.
The committee has called for:
Labour AM Mr Griffiths said: "Some people will think that people aren't really genuine asylum seekers and refugees, they're coming here as economic migrants - that when they get here perhaps they get better provision than is provided for the general population in Wales.
"None of these things are true and we want to help better integration."
Mr Griffiths said ministers had an integration delivery plan the committee wanted to improve so more refugees and asylum seekers got "a very good welcome in our communities".
On Monday, UKIP committee member Gareth Bennett published his own report saying the committee's work risked "encouraging more spontaneous arrivals".
The Welsh Government said it would consider the recommendations when it revised its refugee and asylum seeker delivery plan later this year.
"This will reiterate our commitment to supporting and enabling people fleeing war and persecution to rebuild their lives and make a full contribution to society," said a spokeswoman.
"We are investing around Â£1m over the next three years in services to provide advice and advocacy to people who have had to flee their homes and have recently made Â£40,000 available to support local health boards to train mental health clinicians in treating Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in child and adult refugees and asylum seekers."


Mame Biram Diouf scored a late equaliser as Stoke prevented Chelsea from overtaking them in the league.

Bertrand Traore, playing as a central striker, gave the Blues the lead when he took Nemanja Matic's pass, turned and fired home from 20 yards out.
The Potters deservedly levelled when Xherdan Shaqiri's cross was punched by Chelsea keeper Thibaut Courtois to Diouf, who headed into an empty net.
Bojan almost won it for the Potters in injury time but Courtois denied him.
Stoke remain seventh in the table, with Chelsea 10th - three points behind them.
The Blues named a team with Wednesday's Champions League game against Paris St-Germain in mind. Striker Diego Costa, who had a minor tendon injury, was not risked, while midfielder Cesc Fabregas was left on the bench.
Burkina Faso forward Traore started centrally, with recognised strikers Loic Remy and Alexandre Pato on the bench, and his goal was the one real moment of quality in the game.
He found space outside the box before firing a great shot past Jack Butland - his fourth goal in five games.
However, he had a mixed game, failing to control the ball in the box on a couple of occasions and being caught offside needlessly.
He was replaced after 68 minutes by Remy, who made little impact.
Chelsea could have had a penalty when Marc Muniesa leaned on Oscar in the box but there were only muted appeals for a spot-kick.
The Potters had won their previous three Premier League games and started the day five points off the Champions League places.
Mark Hughes named an attacking line-up at the home of the soon-to-be dethroned champions, with Ibrahim Afellay, Shaqiri and Marko Arnautovic starting behind Diouf. When Bojan replaced Glenn Whelan, they had five forwards on the pitch.
And just when it looked like their luck might be out - Courtois had done well to deny Shaqiri and Arnautovic - they got their reward.
With Joselu waiting on the touchline to replace Diouf, the Senegal striker headed home after Courtois failed to adequately deal with Shaqiri's cross. That was his last touch.
Hughes told BBC Sport: "That's the bit of luck you need. He put a great shift in. He was looking a bit tired so I thought I'd freshen it up. Luckily he scored just before I brought him off."
Stoke boss Mark Hughes told BBC Sport: "We're grateful to equalise but we deserved more from the game. It was an excellent away performance - we took the game to Chelsea. We were encouraged by the team they picked.

"I was a bit surprised with their team. I thought they had a chance to get in the Champions League.
"We're really pleased with the performance. Their goal came out of the blue, it was a great bit of individual skill. I felt we were a strong team and made things happen."
Chelsea interim boss Guus Hiddink told BBC Sport: "Stoke play well and creatively and they pushed us back. The first goal we got after a sloppy start, it was a beautiful goal.
"We should have got a penalty for a foul on Oscar. Any referee would have given a free-kick if it was outside the box. That was a key point. Stoke got some encouragement after that.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"We have rested one or two players but it's good to see the players who came in, especially the young ones, like Traore and Ruben Loftus-Cheek, do well.
"Everyone knows in December we were one point off the relegation zone. There was a little bit of panic. Through a lot of draws at the beginning, we moved away and then we had to make the next step with victories, which we did."
Chelsea's next two games will have more of an impact on their chances of winning a trophy than the Stoke fixture.
On Wednesday, they try to overhaul a 2-1 first-leg deficit against PSG in the Champions League last 16, while next Saturday they go to Everton in the FA Cup quarter-finals.
Stoke's next game is at home to Southampton next Saturday.

An Isle of Wight primary school is to close, despite a parents' campaign to keep it open.

The Academies Enterprise Trust (AET), which runs Weston Academy, said it made the "sad decision", due to falling pupil numbers.
The 56-pupil school was classed as "inadequate" by Ofsted in March.
A petition set up by parent George Metcalf, describing closing the school as a "huge waste of resources" attracted more than 500 signatures.
The campaign won the backing of the National Secular Society as parents claimed the nearest alternatives were all faith schools.
The school was placed in special measures following an Ofsted report in March which criticised leadership and management, pupils' behaviour, the quality of teaching and achievement of pupils.
But in May the watchdog reported that teaching and leadership was improving.
AET said the school had less than 40 pupils and the Department for Education had confirmed its agreement to closing the school at the end of December.
Chief executive Ian Comfort said: "Closing a small school is always a very sad decision to make, and is only taken as a very last resort.
"The declining numbers at Weston, however, have been making it increasingly difficult for the school to provide pupils with the quality of education they deserve. I am sure they will all thrive in their new schools and we wish them, and the staff, every success in the future."


Australian cricketers will use a different ball in domestic first-class competition next year in a bid to help them win the Ashes in England for the first time in 18 years.

Cricket Australia wants to give players experience with the Dukes-made ball.
The England and Wales Cricket Board uses the Dukes ball in international matches, but Australia use Kookaburra.
"Changing the ball can be a significant factor," said Pat Howard, Cricket Australia's general manager.
The Dukes ball will be used in the second part of the Sheffield Shield - Australia's premier first-class competition - from next year, while the Kookaburra ball will continue to be used in the first part of the season.
The Aussies have not won an Ashes series in England since 2001, with their difficulties against the seaming and swinging ball, and their own bowlers' inability to produce as much movement as England's attack, often cited as reasons.
Australia will host the next Ashes series in 2017-18 before the sides return to England in 2019.
Howard insists switching between the brands, which behave differently through the air and off the pitch, is not a "minor consideration".
"In recent times Australian teams travelling to England haven't adjusted well to local conditions and the swinging Dukes ball," he added.
"We have been on record saying that we will look at ways to address this deficiency and believe giving players greater experience with the Dukes ball is one way of doing just that."


Mathieu Flamini scored a superb volley to give Arsenal victory in their League Cup third-round tie at Tottenham.

Flamini slotted the visitors into the lead after Spurs keeper Michel Vorm could only parry an Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain shot back into his area.
Tottenham's Danny Rose had a penalty appeal rejected before the hosts equalised when Calum Chambers scored an own goal from Nacer Chadli's cross.
Midfielder Flamini then volleyed in from 20 yards to secure the win.
How Wednesday's League Cup drama unfolded
The France midfielder scored two goals in a game for the first time for Arsenal - and could not have picked a better opposition than their fierce north London rivals.
There had been speculation about how much of a role he would play this season having been overtaken by Francis Coquelin in the holding midfield role, and this was his first appearance of the campaign.
"I'm happy for the team and personally," he told Sky Sports. "I've heard many things in the press and I am still here. I don't have any problems with anyone at the club.
"It is never easy when you don't play every game. I had a point to prove."
Harry Kane remains without a goal for Spurs this season, though he did come close to scoring.
He had an opening in the first half when he controlled the ball on his chest eight yards out but took another touch instead of shooting and the chance was gone.
Kane later led a Spurs counter-attack but could only drag his effort wide from just outside the area,
The England striker did produce an acrobatic volley at the far post following an Andros Townsend corner, but the shot was cleared off the goalline by Kieran Gibbs.

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino: "It was a missed opportunity because we dominated the second half and had the better chances.
"We need to be happy in the way we played and disappointed with the way we lost the game. In general the performance was very good.
"Yes, we and our supporters will feel very bad, when you play against your sporting enemy you want to win more, but this is football."
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger: "You do not expect Mathieu Flamini to score two goals but he was frustrated for a long time and he went for it.
"He is a fighter, Mathieu, and a winner as well. I told him at the start of the season it might be difficult for him to be a starter, but he decided to stay and fight.
"Overall we responded well mentally and physically to the challenge we faced and it was a convincing performance."

Gunmen have killed 36 gold miners in north-east Nigeria, police say.

The attackers overran a mining camp in the Maru district of Zamfara state, in the latest in a series of similar raids in the region.
The gunmen's motive is unclear. Zamfara governor Abdulaziz Yari Abubakar called the attack an "act of terrorism".
In July Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari sent special military units to fight armed gangs in based in the forests of Zamfara.
Hundreds of people have been killed in villages in the area over the past three years.
