Watch: Man pops the question at top of Shandon, replicating fiancée’s parents 40 years ago

Wedding bells are set to ring out after a man popped the question on top of Cork’s landmark Shandon steeple where his fiancée’s parents got engaged four decades ago.

Scot Joshua Rowan and his girlfriend, Bernadette Shannon, flew from Edinburgh to Cork on Tuesday morning for what Bernadette thought was going to be a short city break visiting family on the city’s northside.
