That vote by Britons to leave the European Union got you down? Don’t worry, ol’ chap. Here’s some awesome English Pride love sure to cheer you up, mate!
With tens of thousands of people watching, a squad of British police officers marching in the London Pride parade suddenly stopped Saturday, and one of the constables ducked out of the formation.
As you can see below in the video posted to Facebook by ITV News, the bobby walked over to the partition where his boyfriend stood among the crowd watching the parade, got down on one knee, and proposed.
Photos of the happy moment spread all over Twitter faster than rhubarb flavoured jam from Yorkshire.

Just minutes later, another gay bobby popped the question to his partner, a fellow officer. The photo posted by the MET LGBT Network said simply, “He said yes too.”
