Ambitious bedsheet proposal tied to road signs

Eagle eyed drivers heading along the A580 towards St Helens will have spotted a romantic addition to a number of road signs.

A banner carrying a marriage proposal for ‘Louis’ was spotted below a sign for a roundabout turn-off to Rainford.

The banner, which is placed on a sign for the B 5230, read: “I [love] U Louis, will U marry me.”

A second message was spotted tied to a sign further up the road on a roundabout.

The offer of marriage for ‘Louis’ was publicly announced on one of the city region’s busiest A roads.

The romantic messages are handwritten and featured a love heart drawn in red paint.

The busy dual carriageway is one of the main connections between Liverpool and the wider boroughs of the city region.

The East Lancashire Road runs from Everton Valley as far as central Manchester.

It is not yet known to the ECHO if ‘Louis’ has accepted the offer of marriage or if the sign has been spotted by the intended recipient.
