VALENTINE'S day only falls once a year, but a diamond lasts forever, so this year Beaverbrooks want to help pledge eternal love.

A £500 diamond ring, is being offered by Beaverbrooks in Crompton Place Shopping Centre, Bolton, who are holding a Valentine's competition in conjunction with the Bolton Evening News.

The competition coupon will be published in the Bolton Evening News this coming Wednesday, after which entrants will have a week to answer the questions and complete the tie-breaker.

Entries can be posted directly to the Bolton Evening News, or can be deposited in the competition post box situated inside Beaverbrooks at Crompton Place.

The most romantic tie-breaker will be chosen in time for Valentine's Day after which the lucky couple will be presented with the diamond ring of their choice or vouchers to the value of the ring.
