Inside Leeds United's Luke Ayling's lavish wedding as Ellie Goulding performs private show for newlyweds

Leeds United's Luke Ayling lavish wedding ceremony finally went ahead on Wednesday, after being postponed multiple times due to the pandemic.

The footballer and his beautiful bride, Poppy, were treated to a stunning performance by Ellie Goulding and the Function Band, with the show marking Ellie's first time back in the spotlight after giving birth.

The intimate performance was shared with just 30 guests in line with coronavirus restrictions.

Luke, who shares daughter Maisie with now-wife Poppy, held his wedding at Lime Wood Hotel, a 5* venue in Lyndhurst, Hampshire.

Ellie Goulding wowed her audience with a beautiful rendition of the Waterboys' How Long Will I Love You? performing alongside The Function Band.

The Function Band have an impressive resume, playing at Billie Faiers' 30th birthday party, Steve Coogan's 50th birthday and Josh Wright's Majorca wedding.

Ellie welcomed her first child, Arthur Ever Winter, only a month ago, after she surprised fans at eight months pregnant, revealing it in a photo shoot for Vogue Magazine.

Luke posted a snap of the big day, showing the happy couple together with Poppy in her stunning, floor length gown, captioning it: "Mr and Mrs Ayling. 09/06/21. I love you girl."
