Tom Harwood has shared an emotional tribute after walking his sister down the aisle at her wedding, describing the moment as "the honour of a lifetime".

The People's Channel presenter posted a carousel of photographs from the ceremony on Instagram, revealing he stepped into the role traditionally performed by a father following the death of his own.


The images showed Tom escorting his sister Amelia down an outdoor aisle before the couple exchanged vows in front of family and friends.

In a heartfelt caption, he wrote: "Walking my sister down the aisle was not something I ever thought I would do. It wasn't something I should ever have had to do.

Tom concluded the message by congratulating the newlyweds, adding: "Congratulations once again @amelia_harwood_ and Dan on your beautiful, poignant, and of course bloody-good-fun wedding!"

The post featured a series of joyful moments from the celebration, including a black-and-white photograph of the bride being escorted down the aisle, a group embrace between family members, and a smiling portrait of the bride and groom alongside members of the wedding party.

Friends, colleagues and followers quickly flooded the comments section with messages of support.
