Surprise proposal at Grand National has crowd applauding

A couple who have "been through thick and thin" got engaged with a surprise public proposal at the Grand National at Aintree racecourse today.

Jordan Paget, 27, proposed to Sarah McGuiness, 28, on the Lord Daresbury Roof on the third-day of the Grand National Festival 2023. The couple shared the magical moment in front of friends and spectators, reports The Echo.

Jordan said: "I thought the best option was at the Grand National - you couldn’t do it at a better place. I thought do it here while she’s dressed up and our mates are around.

"We’ve been through thick and thin together. I knew this was the girl I wanted to marry."

The surprise proposal was captured on video and you can see an emotional Sarah tearing up as Jordan gets down on one knee, and the crowd applauding when she says 'yes'.
