Love will be in the air tomorrow as Swindon gets to grips with Valentine's Day fever.

The Jubilee Clock, in Canal Walk, will be churning out a selection of love songs as well as its usual chimes to ensure shoppers don't lose that loving feeling.

And it's clearly working. Strangers Phil Hawkins and Nicola Allen may not know each other but it didn't stop them puckering up at the thought of the romantic clock.

Phil, 21, trainee manager at Top Man, in Canal Walk, said: "The clock's cool. It's something different and will help people get in the mood."

The love songs will play on the hour every hour from 9am until 9pm tomorrow.

And because it's leap year the heartstrings will be plucked once again on February 29. Traditionally girls have proposed to their loved ones on that day, which comes around only once every four years.

Nicola, 28, town centre co-ordinator, from Purton, said: "It's a great idea and brings a little fun to the town centre.

"My favourite is Dream a Little Dream, so I'll be walking by more often and keeping an ear out so I don't miss it. You never know, there might be a few proposals around the clock too."
