Florists and delivery services are busy bringing Valentine's Day gifts and good wishes today - and it seems many of them are going to an unusual recipient.

Michael Collins still has the power to set hearts a-flutter all over the world even though he died over 90 years ago.

His grave at Glasnevin Cemetery in Dublin is being inundated with flowers, messages and cards - including a balloon that spells out 'I love you'.

Orders have come from all over the world.
