It appeared in the sky above 20,000 revellers at the Wickerman Festival in Dumfries and Galloway in Scotland.

The height of romance: A plane flies in the sky with the proposal on a banner above 20,000 people at the festival in Scotland
Miss Fleming, 45, an employment support worker from Glasgow, who loves music, instantly knew the banner was meant for her as ‘Pretty Lady’ was Mr Hagen’s pet name for her.
Thankfully, she didn’t have to think twice about an answer.
She said:’I thought, “Is that me?” I turned to Jim and asked, “Is there another Pretty Lady here?”. He was down on one knee and had a ring in a box. It was a lovely surprise.
