A film fan has used a cinema billboard to help him pop the big question.
Christopher Neilson arranged for the message "Sarah Johnson, Christopher Neilson in The Proposal" to appear outside the Ritzy Cinema in Brixton, south London, instead of the day’s film listings.
His girlfriend cried tears of happiness when he pointed out the sign to her on their way to work.
Miss Johnson, whose shock and happy tears were captured in photographs taken by Mr Neilson’s brother-in-law Ben Phillips, said “yes” and was promptly whisked away to Paris for the weekend.
Zena Papaphoti, duty manager, helped Mr Neilson arrange the proposal.
She said he wanted the message, which references recent Sandra Bullock film The Proposal, to look as authentic as possible.
Ms Papaphoti said: "He seemed very nervous about it when he came into the cinema. I spoke to the general manager and he said because of the occasion, we wouldn’t charge for it.
"Christopher decided on the words, and said he wanted it to look like an actual film listing.
"I think I would want a more down-to-earth proposal myself, but I felt very excited for him. It seemed like a fantasy for him, a dream."
