LOVE is in the air for this mystery couple enjoying a romantic carousel ride in the sinking spring sun.

The sharply dressed lovebirds were enjoying the best of our recent spate of sunny weather on the traditional carousel beach before enjoying a romantic smooch.

With smiling faces, this lovey-dovey scene could be straight out of a romantic movie.

The unseasonal sunshine helped make the moment picture perfect as beachgoers flocked to the promenade yesterday.

Since the Easter Weekend, the city has been enjoying mild temperatures and stunning sun, which is set to continue again today.

With its sunny South Coast scenery, Brighton and Hove is the most romantic city in Britain with the busiest registry office outside of London.

In the past year, 1,358 couples tied the knot in the city, which has 38 registered venues where couples can be joined in legal matrimony.

Venues range from the Palace Pier to the Old Police Cells. The Brighton i360 has already been in talks with the city council to become a licensed wedding venue when it opens next year.

About a third of those who choose to wed in the city travel here from other parts of the country because of the city’s vast range of beautiful and unusual venues.

Couple Keith and Lesley Loring returned to the city after 50 years to celebrate the place where they first tied the knot.

Keith, now 70, was working on a building site when he first set eyes on Lesley, who had a Saturday job at the Woolworths store across the road.

Lesley, then 16, asked Keith’s friend to go to a show with her but he was busy, so Keith leapt at the chance of a date. Two years later, they married.
