Leicester City players have attended the wedding of team-mate Jamie Vardy and his fiancee Rebekah Nicholson at Peckforton Castle in Cheshire.
His Premier League-winning team-mates including Wes Morgan, Jeffrey Schlupp, Marcin Wasilewski and Liam Moore were all pictured arriving to celebrate Vardy's special day.
Indeed, the striker had already moved the pre-nuptials three times because of England commitments - something that manager Roy Hodgson appreciated.

Hodgson also asked the striker not to over indulge after the wedding so that he can fully focus on an important next few weeks with England.
The Three Lions play two friendlies against Australia on Friday at the Stadium of Light and Russia at Wembley on June 2 before they fly off to the European Championship in France.
The 29-year-old promised he would have 'very quiet night' on Wednesday and would look to 'get plenty of sleep' ahead of returning to England duty.

'I've not got a curfew but I'm a professional and understand what has to be done so will be making sure I get plenty of sleep ready to come back in,' he said.
Hodgson told reporters following England's 2-1 win over Turkey - in which Vardy scored - that he wasn't overly fussed as long as Vardy didn't overdo the celebrations.
He said: 'I'm really not concerned. I hope he will be sensible and I believe he will be sensible.'

Vardy had moved his nuptials three times to accommodate England, something that Hodgson appreciated
'I know he really is desperate to be selected to go to the Euros and do a good job so I'm pretty confident when I see him on Saturday morning he will be fine.
'By all means feel free to ask if he intends to let down his hair and do some stupid things after the wedding — and if the answer is yes, feel free to batter him.'
Leicester team-mate Danny Drinkwater was given special dispensation to attend the service but Vardy's other England colleagues did not attend because of their training schedule in preparation for Friday's game.

'Jamie invited everybody, but of course we can't go,' said Hodgson. 'Having said that, we train at 5pm on Wednesday.
'His wedding is at 2pm so there is a possibility, and I have allowed Danny Drinkwater to stop off for the wedding and then join us at 4pm for the training session.'
