Giant mystery marriage proposal from '82-year-old Ralph' painted on empty shop window

A mystery wedding proposal has been painted onto an empty shop.

The bold message is daubed onto the whitewashed windows of the empty unit in Plymouth, Devon, catching the eye of locals - many of whom have stopped to take photos.

The painted black lettering on Drake Circus, reads: "Lauren Marry Me? Ralph Age 82."

The proposal has been described as "cute", reports PlymouthLive.

Writing on Facebook, one reader suggested it could be fashion designer Ralph Lauren, who is 82.

Another agreed: "They legit been doing Ralph Lauren jokes for ages there."

A third said: "Sugar daddy."

And a fourth: "Omg that's bad, that's worse than when people try and propose out loud in a public space."

The message spills over onto the door handles of what was formerly Connells Estate Agents.

It is set to become trendy bar Grow later this year, which will also include a kitchen, ecosystem studios and event spaces.

The owners opened their first unit in Hackney, London, and have now decided to branch out to the port city.

An opening date is not yet confirmed.

Information on the Grow, Plymouth website reads: "Grow, Plymouth will be an independent ecosystem of studios and event spaces with bar & kitchen, based in the cultural quarter of Plymouth.

"Opening in 2022, expect a collective approach with a focus on sustainability and grassroots arts/culture.

"We welcome ideas for collaborations and how best to serve the community."
