A man who popped the question to his partner on the football pitch where Bournemouth had just won promotion back to the Premiership, also got the right result.

Luke Fletcher went down on one knee in the centre circle at the Vitality stadium and proposed to Kate Warren on Tuesday night as thousands of jubilant fans swarmed the pitch.
