Here are the first on-location pictures of Coronation Street's New Year wedding.

The cast and crew of the Weatherfield soap were out in force yesterday filming in Manchester for the show's first wedding of 2010 between unlucky-in-love Gail Platt (Helen Worth) and her in-debt-up-to-his-eyeballs lover Joe McIntyre (Reece Dinsdale).

The pair look happy enough as they arrive at the register office, but with the knowledge that Reece is quitting the ITV serial next year, is this the beginning of the end for his character?

Let me know your thoughts below! In the meantime, here's a selection of pap photos for your viewing pleasure.
