It has been part of Sheffield’s skyline for more than 10 years.
Scrawled in paint on a bridge at the city’s grade II-listed Park Hill flats, “I Love You Will U Marry Me”, has been visible for miles.
Now, it has neon permanence, as “an invitation to the city”, by the firm restoring the flats in their 50th year.
However, many people do not know that the full graffiti declaration read “Clare Middleton I Love You Will U Marry Me”, or who created it.
But, after a decade a man called Jason has come forward to claim: “It was me, I did it in April 2001.
“I leant over with a paint can as far as I could.”
Jason, who is not named in full, had been dating Clare for over a year, before made a public show of proposing to her, despite being scared of heights.
“You used to be able to see it from the Odeon cinema,” he continued.
“I took her there, she thought she was going to see a film and I said ‘I’ve got something to show you’ and I told her to look up and she read it.
“She said ‘yeh’. She thought I was mad.”
However, events did not end up running smoothly and the pair did not marry, splitting up three months later.
Ms Middleton, who has since died of cancer, was going to marry Jason, according to her mother.
“At the time she was in love with him,” she said. “[But] things went wrong. She did get married in the end but not to Jason.”](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpmxgnEGER1qbybfoo1_400.jpg)
