It's been a good 9 months since Kanye West last posted on Instagram, but the rapper returned to the social media platform in emphatic fashion last night by spending 7 hours posting pictures.

What's more, he used his return to wish his wife Kim Kardashian a Happy Valentine's Day by posting pictures of iconic celebrity couples from down through the years.

They included Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder, Cindy Crawford and Richard Gere, Barack and Michelle Obama, Kid Rock and Pamela Anderson, Paris Hilton and Deryck Whibley, Posh and Becks and many more.

And, of course, ended with perhaps his favourite couple of all...
