Wolverhampton-born Matthew Hudson-Smith officially said "I do" as he married partner Antonia Tyson in Birmingham on September 29.

British track and field sprinter Matt Hudson-Smith - who specialises in the 400 metres and is the fifth fastest athlete of all time over the distance - and Tyson, a health care worker, got engaged back in 2023, and enjoyed their big day with friends, family and plenty of superstar athletes from across the world.

Guests at the wedding included teammates Dina Asher-Smith, Adam Gemili, Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake, as well as 100m Olympic champion Noah Lyles.

Noah Lyles took to social media to congratulate the couple, saying: ""A truly Amazing day! I couldn’t have been happier for ya’ll,"
