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 getting into the spirit of the occasion at Mecca Bingo, Asda, the Central Library or East Durham and Houghall College?
Perhaps you were spotlighted when our photographer visited St Teresa’s RC Primary School where they dressed in red for the day.
We hope you enjoy our look back on February 14 through the years.
