Why was there are a heart in the sky in Newcastle on Sunday? Mystery explained as locals speculate

There was some mystery around Newcastle on Sunday evening, when a heart appeared in the sky above the city, leaving locals to speculate why it was there and who was responsible.

With bright blue skies surrounding Tyneside, just as Elton John arrived on stage to bright sunshine down the road in Sunderland, the plane trail was very visible as people who were in and around the city at the time quickly took photos and videos which were then shared on social media.

The heart was seen over the water in Gateshead too, with people flocking to Twitter after they saw it. Uploading their photo of the heart, one local posted: "Watched a plane drawing this heart shape in the evening sky over Newcastle/Gateshead tonight. Magic," and another tweeting: "Gateshead sending Newcastle a big heart emoji in the sky."
