A graffiti marriage proposal which became a symbol of a city has been removed by developers.
Jason Lowe s public display of affection was spray-painted on a bridge at Park Hill, Sheffield, in 2001.
His bid to woo girlfriend Clare Middleton formed part of the city skyline, inspired a track by singer Yungblud and appeared on a t-shirt worn by Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner.
Urban Splash said the graffiti was removed for essential repair work .
Sam Feeley, who lives in one of the renovated flats, said he noticed the writing - I Love You Will U Marry Me - had been removed on Sunday.
