'So Brixton!' Leap year wedding proposal displayed on front of Ritzy cinema

A woman used the front of a south London cinema to make a public leap year proposal to her partner.

The film listings display at the front of the Ritzy cinema in Brixton was replaced with the romantic message on Monday, which read "Will you marry me Jay? x".

Staff said they did not yet know whether Jay had accepted or even seen the display.

But a phone operator at the Ritzy told the Standard: "We do believe it's a genuine proposal.

"I saw a woman on her knees with the sign behind her and her friend taking photos, possibly to send to her partner."

Tim Kerr shared a photo of the sign on Twitter and wrote: "A leap year proposal at the Ritzy Brixton. Say 'yeah' Jay!"

Another tweeter said: "Using a cinema billboard to propose, so Brixton!"
