PATRICK Anson picked a frightful moment to pop the question to girlfriend Nicola Bagley.

The 26-year-old got down on one knee and proposed marriage amid the scary exhibits of the London Dungeon visitor attraction.

Moments before she gasped "yes", Nicola had shuddered at gruesome depictions of Judgement Day and Jack the Ripper during a trip to celebrate her 26th birthday.

Nicola said: "We were surrounded by plague and pestilence, so it probably wasn't the most romantic location in the world to propose. But it was certainly very memorable and typical of Patrick."

The couple who met at a business conference in Glasgow over a year ago, live together at Normanby, near Middlesbrough. They plan to wed abroad next year
