There's no better place to get engaged than a Pride parade — the festivities are already built in.

Such were the philosophies of two Metropolitan police officers, who each proposed to their partners (one of whom is a fellow police officer) during this week's London Pride celebration.

One of them even halted a parade to pop the question. Talk about a grand gesture.

Since the Metropolitan LGBT Network (a staff association for LGBT police officers) posted the photos on Saturday, congratulatory tweets have been plentiful. Some people even thanked the officers for providing a slice of positive news as the UK reels from its controversial 'Brexit' vote.
