Charles Bronson proposed by singing Frank Sinatra
Britain's most violent prisoner proposed to his girlfriend by serenading her with a personalised version of the Frank Sinatra classic My Way.
Charles Bronson popped the question to his former Coronation Street actress partner Paula Williamson on Valentine's Day in a telephone call from HMP Wakefield to her home in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire.
He had a diamond cluster ring delivered before asking her 'Do you want to be my missus?' according to the Daily Mirror.

Entitled Our Way, the 64-year-old altered some of the lyrics, and sang: 'We've lived a crazy life and travelled in and out of darkness. But more, much more than this, we did it our way.'
Miss Williamson, 36, who has had relationships with 'both men and women', said the couple were 'so in love' and a 'perfect match'.
Bronson's new fiancee told The Mirror: 'I used to think he was a violent thug, but from the moment I read one of his books, I just had to write to him – he was the inspiration I have been waiting for all my life.
'We're soulmates and I can't wait to be Mrs Salvador – Charlie already calls me his missus and I'm proud to be his.'
It had previously been reported that the 64-year-old, who has numerous convictions for armed robbery, wounding and grievous bodily harm, got down on one knee when she came to see him yesterday, wearing a revealing red dress.
The notorious prisoner and former bare-knuckle boxer was first jailed in 1974 and has spent a total of 41 years in prison, having had his sentence increased previously for attacking fellow inmates and taking people hostage.
The actress has appeared in several British soaps and said they are a 'perfect match'

No one was available for comment when MailOnline visited Ms Williamson's home today, but Mother Hazel Williamson, 78, later explained the family did not wish to discuss the relationship.
She said: 'It's not something that I want to talk about. It's not my choosing.'
Miss Williamson has previously appeared in several UK soaps, including roles in Hollyoaks, Coronation Street and Emmerdale.
She appears to be registered with Icon management agency and, according to an online profile, trained at Manchester Metropolitan University School of Theatre.
Miss Williamson made her debut in 2003 in short film Autumn Heart but did not make another television appearance until 2008 with a guest role on medical soap The Royal Today.
Sticking to medical roles, she followed that up with a series of appearances as a nurse on Coronation Street between 2008 and 2012.
Miss Williamson also appeared in the 2011 ITV drama Appropriate Adult, a dramatisation on how murderers Fred and Rose West were brought to justice.

As well as television work, her Icon profile states she has also filmed a variety of commercial and corporate films, as well as an advert for Aldi.
She also directs and writes sketches as part of the duo 'Brides of Comedy' with friend Claire Jones, with the pair running their own YouTube channel.
Her Twitter profile, where she went by the name @deviantdemonica, appears to have been recently taken down.

In 2014 Bronson changed his surname to Salvador in honour of artist Salvador Dali, and Miss Williamson was seen wearing a necklace spelling out the moniker when visiting the inmate.
Bronson – whose life was made into a 2009 film starring Tom Hardy as the prisoner - has been married twice before, first to Irene Bronson, whom he divorced in 1977 after a five-year marriage, and then to Fatema Saira Rehman, a Bangladeshi-born divorcee whom he married in 2001 after the pair had exchanged letters.
He briefly converted to Islam during the second marriage, which ended after four years.
Bronson has spent much of his time in jail in solitary confinement due to his history of violence.
