Married couples are being invited to renew their vows at a special Valentine’s Day service at Liverpool Cathedral.

As St. Valentine’s Day 2010 falls on a Sunday, the Cathedral has organised an intimate service at 5.30pm. Couples can renew their vows in the intimate setting of the Lady Chapel, which is often used for weddings. They can then opt for a special candle-lit dinner prepared especially for them.  

The service, taken by the Dean of Liverpool Cathedral, and with specially chosen music, will be one of celebration to give thanks for marriage, and it will also be an opportunity for couples to recommit to each other.

After the service, couples will have the option to wander through the ‘Icons in Transformation’ exhibition (as the Cathedral will be closed to the public) before going to the Western Rooms for a candle-lit Valentine’s Day Supper, which begins at 6.30pm. Couples opting for the meal will also receive a personalised home made heart cake to take away.

Dean Justin Welby, who will be leading the service said, “Perhaps to some people, religion and the romance associated with Valentine’s Day are not obviously linked. However, Liverpool Cathedral is hoping to change that. On St Valentine’s Day, there will be a short service to renew the promises and hopes of marriage, simply and without embarrassment. There will be beautiful music, a wonderful setting - the Cathedral’s Lady Chapel - and moving words. There is also an option to continue the celebrations with a candle-lit dinner. This is unique event, not to be missed.”

‘Tell us what you love about your City’ – Liverpool Shanghai Photo Mission

If you had a chance to show millions of people ‘your city of Liverpool’ what would you show them?

English Heritage are inviting people living in or around Liverpool to enter a photo competition where the winning images and ideas will be shown at the World Expo 2010 in Shanghai. You don’t have to be a fantastic photographer or have any experience at all! You don’t even have to have a camera! It’s for anyone with an idea of what represents their city. This is for anyone over the age of 8 – right up to 108!

You can enter in a number of ways; you can send us one digital image of something that for you represents the city, you can e-mail us up to 100 words telling us what is most important to you about the city or you can write a letter to us telling us what you think is most important about your city.

A specially formed group of people from local creative organisations will choose 10 people’s ideas from the entries. Those 10 people will be invited to work with professional digital storytellers to create short digital pieces including images and voice recordings to represent ‘their city of Liverpool’.

The finished 10 pieces will be shown in the Liverpool pavilion at the World Expo 2010 in Shanghai. Liverpool is the only city in the UK to be represented at the World Expo 2010 later this year and many millions of people – mostly families – will attend the show during the 6 months that it is being held.

What do you do next if you would like to enter the competition?

Think about how you would represent Liverpool in photos.

Either; choose one image which for you represents ‘your Liverpool’ or write down not more than 100 words about what is most important to you about the city.

E-mail your digital photo or your 100 words to; liverpoolshanghaicompetition@english-heritage.org.uk  

If you would prefer to write your 100 words in a letter, please send it to:
