Sonya Keating and Paul Brough married at the top of The Shard on This Morning and viewers got emotional

This Morning’s live TV wedding left viewers in tears as Sonya Keating and Paul Brough finally exchanged vows after more than two decades together.

The pair, who first met when they were toddlers, married in a moving ceremony 800 feet (243m) in the air on The Shard’s 72nd floor in front of family, friends and presenters Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby.

With Gok Wan looking after Ms Keating and Rylan Clark-Neal taking responsibility for Mr Brough in the build-up to the event, the pair were in safe hands.

The couple’s son James played the role of ring bearer while they were treated to a trip to Dubai by the ITV show for their honeymoon.

Earlier Paul said he was 'having the best day of my life' while Sonya said she was suffering from a bout of nerves.

It’s the second live wedding to be hosted on This Morning following a similar event last year on the River Thames.
