Watch! Elaborate Irish proposal to childhood sweetheart

WHO SAYS Romantic Ireland is dead and gone?

A viral video of  an elaborate marriage proposal on Killiney Hill in Dublin posted on YouTube has been attracting attention with over 28,000 hits.

The 4 minute video features a cameo from Bono and Ali Hewson.

The video was made in November 2014 by Cliff Henry, who enlisted the help of band KeyWest to pop the question to his childhood sweetheart Fiona O'Hehir.

On O'Hehir's birthday, Henry suggested a walk to the top of the famous viewing spot and wearing a Go Pro camera (which he told his girlfriend he was trialling for work), they set off.

The setup was simple enough, despite involving the band lugging gear up a steep hill.

At the summit, the band played O'Hehir's favourite song Raglan Road while Henry popped the question.

Spoiler Alert: She said yes.
