The Lock of Love

Bridge in Cologne

Thesun.co.uk - Romantics are declaring their feelings by attaching PADLOCKS to landmarks all over the globe.

The symbolic gesture is meant to represent "unbreakable love", with couples showing their commitment by throwing away the key.

The craze started in the Hungarian city of PECS in the 1980s and has now reached the UK.

Parts of LONDON'S Tower Bridge are plastered with the padlocks while they adorn a fence in a GLASGOW park.

Some romantic souls also leave letters to their lovers or engrave a message on the locks.

In MOSCOW, a tree has been covered, while killjoy officials in PARIS have banned them from the Pont Des Arts bridge because they are too heavy.

Bridges in RIGA, Latvia, and COLOGNE, Germany, are also full of the love tokens.
