LOVESTRUCK Worcester folk have been leaving love messages while raising money for people with life-threatening heart conditions.

The British Heart Foundation shop in Mealcheapen Street, Barbourne, is asking people to make a donation in return for filling in a heart-shaped notice in the store's window.

The cash will go to the BHF's Real Valentine appeal, which aims to raise £1m for more specialist heart nurses across the nation.

Love messages can also be written at the Salt Rock Caf, in Gurneys Lane, Droitwich, at a fund-raising coffee morning on Monday, February 14.
