The former professional footballer said that he broke down in tears as he saw his daughter Tia, eight, who was Kate’s maid of honour, walk down the aisle ahead of the ex-reality TV star. He said: “I cried as soon as the day started. Seeing Tia walk up the aisle before Kate set me off. It was just so emotional. “There was just no going back on the emotion, that’s why I had to keep my shades on! “Seeing [sons] Tate and Lorenz walk Kate down the aisle was particularly poignant and we wouldn’t have wanted to do it any other way.”
