Chloe and Young said their "I do's" at the picturesque Forcett Hall Estate, just to the west of Darlington.

The gorgeous bride wowed as she wore a strapless lace gown, posing next to her dad, 56 - the Premier League's record goalscorer - while holding a bouquet of flowers. While her new husband, ex-Newcastle Falcons star Young, opted for a white tuxedo - with snaps showing the loved up pair hand-in-hand.

"Congratulations," said Shay Given, while Robbie Keane replied with heart emoji.

It has been the summer of love for the Shearers, with younger daughter Hollie, 31, also tying the knot to a rugby union star.

Shearer jetted back from the World Cup last month so he could see Hollie and Sale Sharks and England ace Joe Marchant, 30, tie the knot in Winchester, Hampshire.

For the event, the bride-to-be donned a white cut-out dress and bikini as she eagerly anticipated marrying the rugby ace.

The ensemble that garnered attention from her Instagram followers was a sheer skirt bearing 'Mrs Marchant' across the back.
