How to get your special Valentine's Day message to a loved one published in the Shields Gazette
The past year has seen us rely on our loved ones in ways we have never done before.
The love of a special someone has helped so many of us through the difficult times caused by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, and associated restrictions.
Anniversaries, birthdays and countless other events have passed without us being able to celebrate them properly, but that does not mean we can’t tell people how we feel about them.
So now, with Valentine’s Day and the season of love almost upon us, we are offering readers the opportunity to send a short public greeting to their Valentine.


All you need to do is fill in the form here and we will do the rest.
Once we have your messages, we will then publish them in the last edition of our paper before Valentine’s Day (Sunday, February 14).
So, don’t miss this chance to say a public “thank you”, “love you” or “miss you” to those special people in your life, wherever they are.
And let’s all hope that the world is a bit safer later in 2021, meaning we can be reunited with family, friends and all those dear to us.
Tell us your message in 50 words or less, who it is for and who it is from.
Please ensure you use full names, not nicknames.
We will also need your contact details (not for publication).
We will not be able to publish any message sent without this information.
