Paul McCartney helped a couple get engaged on stage during a soundcheck ahead of a sold-out show in Chile.
The 82-year-old spotted Chilean couple Yamil Alamo and Leonora Pereira dressed as 1970s versions of himself and his late wife Linda McCartney holding a sign that said: "Paul: Give us a handshake and we'll get married."
The Beatles star invited the couple up on stage in Santiago during Friday's soundcheck where, in front of McCartney, Yamil Alamo got down on one knee and proposed to his girlfriend of six years.
Alamo said: "This was a very special moment for us because for many years we have tried to meet him and today is the day! I don't have words to describe the experience."
The couple, who are from the city of La Serena, have attended previous concerts of McCartney's and said they plan to get married to Maybe I'm Amazed, a song from his 1970 debut solo album McCartney.
McCartney is currently on the South American leg of his Got Back tour and following his performance in Santiago heads to Brazil.
The Got Back tour started in Uruguay at the beginning of October, with McCartney treating fans to the last unfinished Beatles song Now and Then for the first time.
