A musician from Devon in the UK organised an elaborate fake treasure hunt to surprise his girlfriend with a marriage proposal.

Bert Miller buried an engagement ring and a bottle of champagne in a back garden lawn in Exeter and then told his girlfriend to come outside because his metal detector had found something.

"I had buried the ring a week before so the ground didn’t look tampered with," said Miller.

He then dug up the champagne and the ring and popped the question to his astonished partner, Hayley.

Miller's whole family were part of the surprise and helped to capture the full occasion on camera.

This video was filmed on Christmas day 2018.
