Parklife boss Sacha Lord has offered to gift a honeymoon to the couple who got engaged on stage at the festival.
The happy couple were targeted by ‘vile’ trolls after videos of their engagement circulated online.
The pair were up on stage during Yung Filly’s performance on Saturday afternoon when their engagement took place in front of a crowd of thousands.
The artist shouted “She said yes!” while running around the stage as the man, Myles Goodfellow, slid a ring on his now-fiancee’s finger.

As well as the gift of a honeymoon, Sacha also offered them free entry to the festival and to Warehouse Project for life.

Sacha posted on Instagram: “Yesterday an amazing moment happened as Parklife saw a proposal on stage from a young couple.
“Unfortunately, the internet reaction to two young people sharing a special moment was quite frankly vile.

“I would like to find this couple and give them free entry to Parklife and The Warehouse Project for life and not only that, but to pay for their honeymoon, so that when they go away, I want them to sit there in the sun posting pictures to social media, knowing that those people who had a go at them are bitter, and they’re not there.”

Indy Geraghty, the girl who was proposed to, has Tweeted: “I love how many people are being trashy over yesterday. One of the best days of my life, don’t bring it down and be mean really are a bunch of losers.”
She later told the Manchester Evening News: “The proposal was a complete shock! When we arrived at Parklife I soon came to realise we were going for a meet and greet with Yung Filly but little did I know that would happen.

“I was completely clueless to it all and as you can see by the pictures and video I couldn’t even speak.
“I cried very happy tears when Sacha called me. I don’t have a lot of good things happen in my life so for something like this to come along is a huge impact. Myles had arranged it all with Filly’s manager weeks prior.
“We are both working normal jobs and don’t have a lot of spare time so I guess it’ll be a few years before we can afford our wedding but I definitely don’t mind waiting. I am hoping we will be able to do it in the next year or two but nothing planned yet.
“I’m still in a lot of shock from yesterday and the amount of attention it’s got has sent me on a rollercoaster of emotions.”
Channel 4 is looking for Mancs who think they can survive the apocalypse for a new TV series
Lydia Mastrolonardo
Have you always wanted to see how long you’d last in an apocalypse?
Well now’s your chance, as Apocalypse is potentially coming back to Channel 4 for a second series, with producers having put out a nationwide casting call for contestants willing to take part.
The casting call simply reads: “Do you think you have what it takes to survive the end of the world?”
Described as a dystopian series designed to test the creativity, resourcefulness, and resilience of our nation, Apocalypse sees players are pushed out of their comfort zones and put to the ultimate test.
In the series, ordinary people are tasked with surviving for 28 days in an abandoned city – used previously only for the military to practice urban warfare – with no food, running water, electricity or heat.
Produced by The Garden – which is part of ITV Studios – for Channel 4, the show’s creators are now calling on Mancs and people up and down the country with the ‘courage and ingenuity’ to compete, to get in touch and apply for the potential second series.
Does your mate always bang on after watching a post-apocalyptic film that they would’ve done things differently? Or is the news at the moment freaking you out and you want to give the end of the world a bit of a practice run? Either way, sign up, test that plan you’ve built in your head, and see if you’ve really got what it takes.
Applications are now open, and all you need to do is fill in a short application form and one of the production team will get back to you if they would like to proceed. Come on, let’s prove what Mancs are made of.
Hundreds of katsu curries are being given out for FREE in Manchester this week
Emily Sergeant
Hundreds of katsu curries are being dished up and given out for free in Manchester this week, but only for certain people.
And those lucky people will be students.
That’s right… a new semester is upon us, and thousands of freshers and returning students are descending on the city and Manchester‘s many universities for another year. But the life of a student isn’t exactly the cheapest sometimes, especially for those who haven’t had to live on a budget before moving out or into halls.
But to make things a little easier, Tampopo has announced it’ll be serving hundreds of one of its most popular dishes for free this week.
Tampopo is celebrating National Katsu Curry Day in the most delicious way possible, by giving away 700 Katsu Curries with rice for free, exclusively to freshers and students this Sunday (27 September).
Whether you’re brand new to the city, settling back into uni life, or you’re simply in need of a katsu fix, students can head to their nearest participating Tampopo and tuck into a hearty meal without needing to spend a penny.
100 katsu curries will be available each from 12-2pm at both Tampopo restaurants in Manchester city centre – which are on Albert Square, and in the Corn Exchange – or if you head over to the Trafford Centre, both the Tampopo there and the East Street sites are taking part.
“[Our] Katsu Curry has long been one of our most-loved dishes, so National Katsu Curry Day felt like the perfect excuse to give students a proper welcome to the new academic year,” Tampopo said in a statement.
So, are you feeling hungry then? The offer is exclusively available for takeaway only to freshers and students with a valid student ID, which they must present on collection.
100 portions are available at each participating location, and just one free katsu curry with rice will be available per person.
