Following the ceremony, the Beckham family hotfooted it out of the back door of the Abbey, eschewing the crowds who had gathered at the front to catch a glimpse... Watch our exclusive video below...

Holly 'mobbed' as she enters church
Holly arrived with her dad, Gordon Ramsay, and as she made her way into the Abbey, our source tells us she was mobbed by photographers.
"Holly's wedding descended into chaos this afternoon as photographers and security clashed just as the bride was entering the church. As the world’s press assembled in an orderly fashion in a pen at the front of the church, four rogue photographers ran from a back door where the Beckhams had recently arrived as Holly and Gordon pulled up to the side of the church in their car.

"Eight security guards formed a barrier around Gordon and Holly as they left the car and walked around the side of the church to the main front door. The paps who had been on the back door sprinted around to try and catch up with them at the front door of the church, and they came to blows in a narrow alleyway at the side of the church just yards from 100s of members of the public who had been waiting for the church service to begin.
"They were extraordinary scenes when the security bodyguards and the paparazzi photographers clashed and scuffled as the crowd surrounding them scattered. And in the middle of the melee, Gordon and Holl,y in her wedding dress, were being jostled around just as she entered the church.
While Holly appeared to be wearing a bridal cape, she was in fact shielding her dress from onlookers, ensuring her gown was a surprise for the guests gathered inside. She slicked her hair into a sophisticated updo, allowing tendrils to flow freely, framing her perfectly made-up face.
Tana Ramsay made a striking mother of the bride in a dark green dress, designed by close friend Victoria Beckham. She added lace detailing stiletto heels to complete the look.
The ceremony will be starting imminently, signalled by the arrival of Holly's beautiful bridesmaids who were dressed in a glorious hue of Christmas red. At the front was Maid of Honour and Holly's sister, Tilly Ramsay, who followed her mother, Tana, who was dressed in a festive green silk dress.
So far, celebrities who have arrived for Holly and Adam's big day are celebrity chef Marcus Wareing who can be seen photographed. David and Victoria Beckham, who chose to enter the abbey through the back door.
Other stars to have arrived are Dragon's Den star Sara Davies and Dan Walker.
Proving even A-listers aren't immune from parking woes, HELLO!'s insider reported that Gordon and Holly's cars were parked illegally at bus stop during the wedding ceremony - fingers crossed they're not hit with a fine!
HELLO!'s source shared that a large crowd had gathered during the ceremony, awaiting the departure of the newlyweds...
Ahead of the ceremony, excited crowds gathered to await the arrival of the celebrity guestlist and the bride and groom, Holly and Adam. Thankfully, the sun was shining for their winter nuptials.
A source told HELLO! that arrivals are set to begin at Bath Abbey – Holly and Adam's spectacular and historic venue that can hold up to 1,200 guests – at 11:30am, where all the guests and the bride and groom will enter through the front door, which can be seen here.
"With just a couple of hours before guests were due to arrive this morning, the atmosphere at Bath Abbey was already palpable," the source told us.
"The 15ft tall carved wooden door entrance to the abbey was adorned with hundreds of white roses. And by 9:30am, the Abbey organist was already warming up their hands on the keyboard."
The source added: "We are all set to go. Guests will be arriving between 11am and 11:30am. So I believe the service will be starting at around midday. There is a cordoned-off area for guest arrivals and a pen for the world’s media. There is a real buzz about the place. I suspect it’ll be rammed by midday. Bath is a huge tourist pull anyway. Add the fact that it’s Christmas and a Saturday. It's going to be packed."
The beautiful colour scheme of the big day was clearly on display, reflected in Holly and Adam's flowers of choice - classically stylish white roses, which adorn every entrance to the historic venue.
The wedding party even went to the length of having a disabled parking bay blocked off at the rear door of the church.
The ‘reason’ given for the parking bay suspension was for a ‘wedding vehicle’, hinting that perhaps the bride would indeed make a dash into the rear door of the Abbey, as Eve Jobs did for her lavish Cotswolds wedding earlier this year.
The Olympic swimmer, 30, couldn't help his excitement, documenting a beautiful winter sunset as he woke up. "Morning of our wedding," he penned, alongside a white love heart emoji.
The photograph showed the sprawling Cotswolds countryside, a pool and a bright orange sunset, the perfect start to such a special day.
While fans are yet to hear from the blushing bride, one person who is more than ready for the big day is Holly's close family friend, Romeo Beckham, who shared a quick photo of himself donning a black bow tie.

Gordon's special words
Holly's doting dad Gordon Ramsay shared a special message for his daughter and husband-to-be in the early hours of Saturday morning. He wrote: "I'm truly so lucky being able to walk this beautiful bride down the aisle and gaining an incredible son-in-law @adam_peaty ! I love you so much @hollyramsayy and couldn’t be a prouder Dad xxx," alongside two photographs of him and his daughter. "
Pre-wedding drama
Just like any other wedding day, Holly and Adam's big day hasn't been exempt from its fair share of family drama. According to reports, Adam's mother, Caroline Peaty, who shares her son with her husband Mark, hasn't been invited to the big day.
Caroline was allegedly not invited to Holly's hen do, which caused Adam's aunt Louise to weigh in, sharing details and shared details on the ongoing drama.

Talking about Caroline, Adam's aunt Louise wrote, in part: "A woman who opened her home and heart to you. You decided, for whatever reason, not to invite her, your prospective mother-in-law, to your hen night, yet Adam invited his father-in-law, your dad, to his stag night."
She added, "I expected better of you and definitely of Adam. You have inflicted a hurt on my sister that will take a very long time to heal if ever."
Victoria Beckham was a guest at Holly's hen do
The public statement prompted Adam to release a statement of his own in which he explained there are "two sides to every story, and asked that people refrain from commenting, as his sister Bethany, who appears to have a close relationship with Holly, including being a bridesmaid, has been "targeted."
