Updated 8:10am: David Beckham and Hugh Grant were among the guests at the wedding of Elton John today, as he married long-time partner David Furnish.

The wedding took place on the ninth anniversary of their civil partnership.

Reports say that guests were served festive canapes and mulled wine.

It's believed the ring bearers were the couple's two sons, three-year-old Zachary and Elijah, who's almost two.

And Elton John and his new husband have managed to keep the paparazzi numbers down at their wedding... by promising to post pictures of it, as it happens, on Instagram.

Sky's Katie Spencer says that's had an effect on press coverage, in spite of the presence of guests such as David Beckham and Hugh Grant.

"There certainly haven't been that many photographers because obviously they know that whatever they get today isn't going to be anywhere near as good as what's gonna be going on Instagram that Elton and David are going to be posting."
