Daniel Claridge and Emily Sara pick a ring at Richard Sinton Jewellers, in Newcastle, following his on-air proposal Picture: DAVID WOOD TEN years ago, this week, a service man proposed to his partner over the radio, two days before their hastily-arranged wedding that would allow them to live together in military accommodation. Daniel Claridge and his fiancee Emily Sara, from Middlestone Moor, in County Durham, faced the prospect of living 350miles apart when Mr Claridge, who is a Royal Marine, was posted to Poole. In a desperate bid to keep the family together, Mr Claridge asked Miss Sara to arrange a wedding within the next fortnight so that the pair and their children, Ethan, two and Effie, 11 weeks, could live together at the military base in Dorset.
