Roy Keane celebrated a family milestone as his son Aidan married his partner in a ceremony attended by their closest relatives.
The Manchester United legend shared a rare family photo on Instagram, posing with his wife Theresa, the newlyweds and himself in a black tuxedo.
Keane captioned the image: 'Beautiful day celebrating my son and his wife.'
The picture showed the pundit and his wife smiling alongside their son and daughter-in-law, who looked radiant in a fitted white gown with lace sleeves.
The couple's wedding took place over the weekend, with several of Keane's famous footballing friends sending their congratulations online.
Former England midfielder Jill Scott commented, 'Lovely photo,' while ex-Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher added two heart-eye emojis beneath the post. The image quickly drew more than 100,000 likes within an hour of Keane sharing it.

Keane's daughter Caragh also posted black-and-white pictures from the day, describing it as 'the most perfect weekend celebrating my brother and my beautiful new sister.'
The snaps showed the groom and bride leaving the church under a shower of confetti and laughing together during the reception.
Aidan Keane is the only son among Roy and Theresa's five children, alongside daughters Shannon, Leah, Alanna and Caragh.
The couple, who married in 1997 after meeting while Keane was at Nottingham Forest, have always kept their family life private despite his long career in football and television.
Keane, a regular pundit for Sky Sports and ITV, has often joked about his softer side away from football.
He previously shared light-hearted social media posts with his grandchildren, once dressing as Paw Patrol's Chase for a fancy-dress party and laughing about his 'always smiling' resemblance with his grandson.
The former Ireland captain's family is also expanding once more. His daughter Leah is expecting her first child with Southampton defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis.
The couple announced the news earlier this year with a series of black-and-white photographs and a caption reading, 'Half of me, half of you.'

Keane and his wife already have three grandchildren and are due to welcome a fourth early next year.
The proud grandfather has often reflected on how much he enjoys family life after football, balancing punditry duties with time spent at home in Cheshire.
