Romantic revelers showed love was in the air yesterday as they celebrated Valentine’s Day with a boozy night out on the streets of Britain.

Many were in good spirits as they strolled down the sidewalk with flowers and heart-shaped balloons.

Others, however, showed that they were just out to have a good time, laughing with friends and making fun of a takeaway.

Despite the frost, partygoers dressed in their best outfits for the romantic occasion, although that left them a little cold.

Others were lucky enough to find shelter with a partner by their side, and shared affectionate kisses in the middle of the street.

Hundreds of party-goers were seen on the streets of Birmingham as they headed to the clubs in the hope that Cupid’s arrow might hit.

A man got into the Valentine’s Day spirit when he was seen walking down the street wearing a smart black suit and carrying a pink rose.

Another clutched red balloons and a bag of M&S goodies as he headed home to his loved one.

As night turned to morning and the clubs closed, friends were seen looking out for each other and a girl was seen enjoying cheese fries while standing over her friend slumped on the floor.

Others took a final selfie in their festive red outfit to remember the night.
