It’s a heartfelt day of friendship and joy and we hope these nostalgic scenes bring back great reminders of the occasion in years gone by.
Were you pictured having a Valentine’s Day brunch at Downhill Infants School or designing posters at Bedewell Primary.
Perhaps you were spotlighted when our photographer visited a tea dance at the Charles Young Centre.
We hope you enjoy our look back on February 14 through the years.
