Here's how to place a special Valentine's message in The News for free

It has been a tough year for everyone and the love of a special someone has helped so many of us through these difficult times.

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 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 on our website, here, and we will do the rest.

Just 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.

We will not be able to publish any message sent without this information.

Once we have the messages, we will then publish them in the last edition of The News before Valentine’s Day.

So, don’t miss this chance to say a public thank you, love you or miss you to those special people in your life.

And let’s all hope that life gets back to normal and we can get together with our family and friends later in 2021.
