EAMONN Holmes paid tribute to Ruth Langsford’s late sister in heartfelt wedding anniversary post.
The This Morning co-host reminisced over the day he married his wife in June 2010, while also honoured his late sister-in-law, Julia Johnson, who tragically passed away last week.
The 59-year-old shared a photograph of him and Ruth on their special day nine years ago on his Instagram account.
He wrote: “It was the hottest day of the year , June 26th 2010. We can’t celebrate our anniversary today but we can still remember Julia in the best way, as one of our Bridesmaids, smiling, dancing and singing.”
The heartfelt post has attracted a lot of attention, and racked up over 22,000 likes on the online platform.
The couple were flooded with congratulations from celebrity friends.

Writing on social media, Ruth said: “My lovely sis Julia has sadly died after a very long illness. My heart is completely broken.
