The couple wed at the resort in 2017 amid huge security.

They booked the entire castle to guarantee privacy and hired an anti-drone company to foil all attempts by the paparazzi to get photos.

Stars like One Direction’s Niall Horan, golfer Padraig Harrington and actor James Nesbitt were among the guests.

The former world No 1 golfer met fiancee Erica at the 2012 Ryder Cup.

They got together shortly after McIlroy went through a public break-up with tennis star Caroline Wozniacki.
