British Airways have announced a charity auction that will allow a pair of high-flying romantics to enjoy the ultimate Valentines dinner date.

The highest bidder will win a romantic dinner for two on board the British Airways flagship Concorde G-BOAC at Manchester Airport's Runway Visitor Park on February 14.
The lucky couple will receive red carpet treatment from the steps of Concorde to their exclusive table for two in the main cabin, where they will be served a three-course dinner - created by a top chef - with a bottle of champagne to celebrate Valentine's Day.
All proceeds from the auction will go to Flying Start, British Airways' global charity partnership with Comic Relief whose aim is to raise money to help children living incredibly tough lives in the UK and around the world.
The auction was launched this week by Cheshire toastmaster Ian Parrott, who actually flew to New York on Concorde twice during a previous career.
He said: "Concorde has always offered the ultimate in romance, you don't have to fly anywhere to appreciate the very intimate and luxurious surroundings of this beautiful aircraft. To have it all to yourself for one evening is possibly the most romantic gesture you can make."
Anyone is welcome to bid for the ultimate Valentine dinner on Concorde in the company's e-mail auction, all they have to do is send an e-mail to stating how much they would be prepared to pay for the prize and give their name and contact details. The prize will be awarded to the highest bidder and there is a reserve price of GBP500. The auction closes on Sunday, February 12 at midnight and the winner will be notified on Monday, February 13.
