Fan proposes at Macca concert

The Beatles legend Paul McCartney stopped a concert in Detroit, Michigan, last week, so a concert-goer could propose to his girlfriend.

Ben Okuly, 26, held a sign up from the crowd reading "Can Ben ask Melissa to Marry him?".

McCartney spotted the sign, stopped his performance and read it out loud.

He then said: "Well, go on, get down on your knees and ask her, Ben!"

Okuly did so and Melissa Steele said yes.

McCartney then said: "Well, that's a first for me. And I hope it's a last for you, Ben."

Okuly came up with the idea on the way to the gig: "To have Paul McCartney be there and start the proposal, I really don't have words to describe what that was like."
