Watch: At London Pride a Police Officer Proposes, Melts the World’s Heart
Marching Police Stop in Formation to Let Their Fellow Officer Propose Marriage
It’s been a busy few days in London. Friday, Brexit. Saturday, Pride. While many may be mourning their votes to leave the EU, at least a few couples in particular are celebrating love today.
At London Pride, which was attended by tens of thousands of people, one marching police officer quickly ducked out of formation, got on one knee, and proposed to his boyfriend who was standing behind a partition in the crowd (video above):

Turns out, this they weren’t the only happy couple.
This London police officer also proposed to his boyfriend, another London officer:
