A woman said the 'most special thing' happened to her during Elton John's Glastonbury set on Sunday.
Festival goers often come home with fond memories but in the case of Bobbi Hadgraft, this weekend was one she’ll never forget. Some might say five days roughing it in a tent and queuing for portable toilets may not be the most romantic environment, but you could say Bobbi was ‘Ready For Love', reports the MEN.
The 22-year-old and her partner Will Huyton headed to their first ever Glastonbury Festival and came back as an engaged couple. To make things even more memorable, Will popped the question right in the middle of Elton John’s highly anticipated Glastonbury debut.

Bobbi, who is originally from Hull but now lives in Manchester, said she was totally blindsided by the proposal. She said: “On Sunday, we left the festival for the first time since arriving and managed to grab a nice meal in the town centre, before heading back for Lil Nas X and Elton. We had a prime position as we’d waited a while for that spot to see Elton John.
“The proposal was absolutely off the cuff. I had to check a few times to make sure he wasn’t joking!
“He said afterwards he had planned to do it in Cornwall in a few week’s time as we both love our surfing. The moment was just right, Elton was playing one of my favourite songs - Your Song - and my partner went for it in the moment.
"It was the most special thing to happen in my whole life. We have a lot of planning to do for the wedding but one thing’s for sure - we’ll be trying for Glastonbury tickets again next year, and every year for the rest of our lives!”
Taking the big news to Twitter, Bobbi said: "Leaving Glastonbury with a fiancé." The tweet has now racked up almost a million views, and her now fiancé Will responded: "Marrying my best mate."
Thousands of people liked the tweet with many other leaving the happy couple well wishes. @HigginsAdam95 said: "Wow! Many congratulations to you both, amazing news" and @theelliebrennan wrote: "Omg yaaaasss!!! Congrats gal what a setting."
@keithp1955 said: "Congratulations to you both, I am sure you will make each other very happy." @TomButl55445942 added: "Congratulations to you both now onto a brilliant life together making memories xx."
Bobbi said before this, the pair had never even camped together. She added: “We were at the festival for the first time and it was even our first time camping! People say Glastonbury is levels above other festivals but could’ve never anticipated what was in store for us this weekend.
“Maybe sharing a seven foot long tent for a few days made him realise he might be able to spend the rest of his life with me, too."
