THOUSANDS of spectators cheered after heart-warming surprise proposal in the Main Ring of the Great Yorkshire Show.

The touching moment came on a day two of the show when Ben Atkinson, who owns Atkinson Action Horses of Eastrington in Goole, proposed to his girlfriend Georgie Jackson from York.

The couple are both stunt riders but got an adrenaline rush of their own when Ben Atkinson got down on one knee.

Ben asked the most romantic question of all - Will you marry me? - Georgie agreed to tie the knot in front of a delighted crowd.

Photographer Kate Mallender was standing by and captured the special moment in action.

Here's the moment it happened...
