The soldier, dressed in full military uniform including hat and white gloves, was captured hugging his now fiancée after popping the question outside Buckingham Palace.

Once he kissed his partner, he was forced to sprint off to play his part in the king’s official birthday parade.

His surprised and delighted girlfriend gasped, “Oh my God!” as he then quickly placed a ring on her finger and said, “I love you.”

He was then heard asking, “Does it fit?” while his fiancée put on the engagement band.

The soldiers popped the question to his shocked partner near Buckingham Palace before rushing off to play his part in the king’s birthday parade.

After slipping the ring on his new fiancée and saying “I love you,” the soldier rushed to join his military colleagues for the parade.

But after taking a moment to hug his future wife, the soldier said he had to rush to the royal parade.
