St John's Church's annual Valentine's Service encouraged couples to say "I do" again on Saturday afternoon.

Reverend Hugh Burton said: "This is our annual service of thanksgiving for marriage and family life, joyful and reflective:

"We give thanksgivings and prayers for children, singles, couples, parents, grandparents and step parents and the bereaved, widowed and divorced.

"During the service married couples had the opportunity to renew their wedding vows, and after the trials and tribulations of the last two years this may be very timely for some."

The service also acknowledged the loss and physical and mental anguish caused by the pandemic over the last two years.

The service was broadcast on Facebook and afterwards the couples went to the Old School House for refreshments and a chat.
