Strabane is the place to be on Valentine’s Day it seems as it is ranked as the most loved up town in Northern Ireland by a leading supermarket chain, but things aren’t as ‘rosy’ in Larne.

Asda has compiled its ‘love league’ of Northern Ireland towns based on its sales of Valentine’s Day products over the last two years.

The folk of Larne in Co Antrim spent the least on flowers and chocolates in 2016.

Whereas in comparison, at the top of the love league is romance-laden Strabane – where 43% more red roses and 39% more chocolate heart lollipops were sold than in any other stores.

Love was also bubbling over in North Belfast and Kikeel, Co Down where sales of champagne and prosecco were up.

At the other end of the scale, the sweet-toothed folks of Ballyclare, Co Antrim spent the second least amount on flowers but topped the treat chart, buying 36% more Valentine’s chocolates than all the other stores.

While in west Belfast and Newtownards - it was lingerie sales that were soaring - by almost 60%.
