But two people did.

The video clip on BBC News is more than hair-raising!

Two people, a man and a woman, climbed to the highest point on the ESB and unfurled a banner which read "When the power of love beats the love of power the world knows peace."

They stayed up there for a while and the man was seen to go down on one knee so he could have been proposing. They climbed down and were immediately arrested.

I won't even climb on a chair!

Scary enough going up the ESB in the lift and going out onto the observation deck 🫣

As the song says.." When you're young and in love " 😂

DD2 was proposed to and engaged on the ESB at midnight (some years ago now).
