All Our Yesterdays takes a look back to 2007 when people of all ages visited the Mart on Valentine's Day.
2007: Gotcha! Borough Mayor Ann Clery-Fox hooks herself a fishy prize after opening the Lynn Mart on Valentine’s Day.
People of all ages, including youngsters enjoying a half-term break, gathered to watch the opening ceremony – and the normally bad “Mart weather” was the only traditional fixture missing from the civic opening. Photo reference: MLNF-0702459
2007: A joint celebration was held to mark the completion of a £100,000 refurbishment at Lynn’s Highgate Infants School and the 130th anniversary of the 72-pupil school.

2007: Just days before celebrating the 55th anniversary of her accession to the throne, Queen Elizabeth presented prizes to children during morning service at West Newton church. The youngsters, pictured here, received books from the royal visitor for good attendance at the Children’s Church. The children performed a short play for the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh and sang songs and hymns.

2012: This was the first big fundraising event for the local Lisa Wiles Red Wellies Brain Tumour Support Fund – a Valentine’s dance organised by family and friends of 43-year-old Lisa, from Blackborough End, who had died the previous October.
Her dad, Mervyn Wiles, is pictured third right, rear, with the Red Wellies T-shirts to the fore. The dance was held at Middleton Village Hall and an amazing £2,314 was raised. A special Red Wellies video was given its premiere during the evening.
