Sir Elton John and David Furnish have officially married - nine years to the day after they tied the knot in a civil partnership ceremony.

In his first post on his newly-created Instagram account, Sir Elton put up an invitation requesting "the pleasure of your company" and said the couple would share "special moments from our big day".

On Sunday morning, he posted a photo of himself, pen in hand, sitting next to Furnish with the message: "That's the legal bit done. Now on to the ceremony!"

The Beckhams and Elizabeth Hurley are among the high-profile guests attending the ceremony at the couple's mansion in Old Windsor, Berkshire.

Hurley tweeted a picture of herself with her son, saying: "On our way to Elton and David's wedding. V excited."

The 67-year-old singer and Canadian-born filmmaker tied the knot in a star-studded civil partnership ceremony at Windsor Guildhall on 21 December, 2005.

Earlier this year, Sir Elton told Sky News why it was important for him and Furnish to marry now it was legal.

"We had our big shebang when we had our civil union, but we will (have a wedding).

"I think it's a great opportunity to take advantage of the new laws and to celebrate," he said.
