Sharing a stunning snap from their nuptials nine years ago, the duo were an image of joy as they laughed together at Elvetham Hall, near Hartley Wintney, Hampshire. The This Morning host, 59, added the caption: '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.' On Monday, Eamonn thanked fans for their support following Julia's death, as he tweeted, paying tribute to Julia and admitting the couple 'will miss her forever.' Eamonn, who broke down during Friday's This Morning when he hosted the ITV show without Ruth, tweeted: I just wanted to say, if I haven't done so directly, Thank u for your kindness and compassion towards Ruth and the loss of her sister Julia... 'We both loved and cared for Julia with all our hearts and will miss her forever. Your love and kind words have been a great help. Thank you.' Eamonn became emotional as he presented This Morning on Friday, beginning the show by informing viewers why Ruth wasn't beside him, explaining her sister Julia had passed away aged 62 following a 'very long illness'. Devastating: On Monday, Eamonn thanked fans for their support following Julia's death, as he tweeted, paying tribute to Julia and admitting the couple 'will miss her forever' The presenter fought back tears as he read out Ruth's heartbreaking tweet about her 'terrible bereavement', before later admitting his wife was 'broken' with grief. Ruth is stepping back from her TV duties, including hosting This Morning on Fridays with Eamonn, as well as covering for Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby. Eamonn said: 'Good Morning and this is your Friday This Morning and before we get underway, let me just explain.
