Hart and his new wife Kimberley Crew tied the knot in Florence surrounded by close friends and family.

The couple beamed as they left the wedding venue hand in hand as guests cheered and showered them with rose petals.

Saturday's ceremony was also attended by some of the biggest names in football, including Hart's Manchester City team-mate Vincent Kompany, England colleague Wayne Rooney and his wife Coleen, as well as Frank Lampard and his fiancée Christine Bleakley.

West Brom player Joleon Lescott, Liverpool and England's James Milner and Sunderland's Adam Johnson were also in attendance.

Joe has been in a relationship with beautician Kimberley for around six years. He proposed to her while they were on a yacht on holiday in Cabo, Mexico, in 2013.

They had their first child Harlow, a son, together last August.

Hart started his career at Shrewsbury and made 58 appearances for the club before moving to Manchester City in a £1 million-plus move in 2006.

His parents Charles and Louise still live in Shropshire.
