Crowds
gathered for gay pride in London cheered loudly as two Met police
officers stopped off along the parade route and got down on one knee to
propose to their respective partners.
Both
officers had their marriage proposals accepted and the happy couples
were snapped by photographers as tens of thousands of people celebrated
the annual event.
One
couple is made up of two of the force's officers, while another officer
proposed to his civilian boyfriend who had been standing among the
spectators along the route.
The officers were among around 80 to take part in the march, representing the Met.
The Met's LGBT group tweeted pictures of the romantic scenes writing: "He said yes" and "He said yes too".
The proposals came after International Development Secretary Justine Greening revealed on Twitter that she was in "a happy same sex relationship".
Ms
Greening, 47, who has been the Conservative MP for Putney in London
since 2005, said it was a "good day" to speak about her private life.
