A trip to Camelot theme park provided a day and 'knight' to remember for Victoria-Louise Edgerton after her boyfriend proposed to her in front of 2,000 onlookers!
The 23-year-old was stunned when Colin Sykes, 33, from Wigan, who had been in talks since October with bosses at the medieval theme park to plan the surprise for Victoria-Louise, who loves the jousting tournament.
As they took their seats for the tournament, at 12.30pm, with daughters Megan, six and seven-year-old Natasha, Colin will made his excuses and nipped to the toilet.
Victoria-Louise was then surprised to see Colin return, dressed as the Black Knight, entering the arena on horseback with Camelot's legendary knights.
Colin said: "From the moment we met we have never looked back, our first proper day out was here so we have lots of memories. "We love Camelot and I wanted to propose in a way that would be special for us and our daughters."
The couple were cheered on by visitors watching the joust and then spent the night at Park Hall Hotel, located on the Camelot complex, Charnock Richard, Chorley, to celebrate.
