Britons have penned thousands of uplifting messages to be delivered to single senior citizens on Valentine's Day in a project aimed at alleviating loneliness.

The letters and cards were written in recent weeks and left in ten models of old-fashioned red post-boxes set up in locations across London and several other cities.

Red Letter Days, a gift experience company which came up with the idea, will dispatch the messages to needy elderly recipients in selected care homes during Thursday.

Galentine's Day is the American phenomenon feted on February 13th —  a 'holiday' gaining in popularity with each passing year, and also gaining in terms of its message of female empowerment.

Galentine's Day was conceived as a defiant response to Valentine's Day — a statement that traditional romantic love is not the only kind worth honouring.
