Sweden's Prince Philip and ex-model Sofia Hellqvist have married in Stockholm.

Riding through central Stockholm following the ceremony, they were greeted by thousands before returning to the palace for their wedding dinner.

In brief comments the prince told the crowd:

"Allow me to introduce to you my beloved wife, Princess Sofia. With great humility I would like to say thank you for having chosen to come here to share our happiness. This is perhaps one of the most treasured and important memories that Sofia and I will carry with us. And that so many want to be here to celebrate love, shows that Sweden is a warm country. A country with a lot of love."
