Man proposes at Birmingham New Street railway station

A couple got engaged in the middle of Birmingham New Street station in front of a crowd of more than 100 people.

Balloons spelling out "Will U Marry Me" were anchored to the main concourse on Wednesday at about 13:15 GMT near the ticket barriers.

A heart made out of red petals had been laid on the floor as curious spectators gathered around the couple.

The bride-to-be said yes, according to Network Rail, as onlookers applauded.

It added in its tweet "best wishes to Faarah and Alfy".
