Dudley Zoo keeper’s big gesture
Monday 5th September 2011, 6:00PM BST.
A Dudley Zoo keeper went for the big gesture when proposing to his girlfriend – using a huge banner hung on the castle.
Adam Walker, aged 28, swore colleagues to secrecy when he planned his proposal to Caroline Parsons.
Mr Walker, who works with big cats at the zoo, made a 30ft banner bearing the words “will you marry me?” and asked chief executive Peter Suddock and assistant curator Richard Brown to help him wrap it around the walls.

The couple, who live in Russells Hall Road, Dudley, have set the date for their big day next August.
