It’s an opportunity to show your better half how much you love them – whether it be popping the question, treating them to flowers and a candlelit dinner or giving them a beautifully wrapped present.
We have found a few surprises among the Valentine’s photos hidden in our archives.
People living in Derbyshire have used the special day to get married, highlight a life-saving campaign and protest against a Government minister’s visit.
