Kissing couples are flocking to a historic landmark in York which, according to tourism chiefs, is fast becoming Britain’s answer to The Blarney Stone.
The Heart Of Yorkshire window, one of the most famous stained-glass windows in Europe, sits in the Great West Window of York Minster.
The distinctive heart shape of the window is becoming a destination in its own right as love-struck couples put faith in local legend that kissing your partner beneath the window means you will stay together forever.
The city is preparing for International Kissing Day tomorrow – celebrating the simple pleasure of a kiss – when it invites romantic couples to gather and pucker up beneath the window at noon to win the heart of their loved one.
