The groom, from Liverpool, said: “So Rod Stewart turned up at our wedding and sang to my wife! I can’t believe what has happened in the last week and this has just topped it off.”

Rod serenaded the happy couple with a version of Have I Told you Lately.

After the performance, the singer invited the happy couple to come and watch his show.

The couple’s wedding plans had been in tatters after spending £9,000 on flights with Thomas Cook, but Caesars Palace and Delta Airlines stepped in to ensure the ceremony could go ahead.

Along with flying the couple and 16 of their friends to Las Vegas, Caesars Palace and Delta arranged for the couple to travel on first class tickets.

They were also met by a limousine and upgraded to a penthouse suite at the Las Vegas hotel.

The collapse of Thomas Cook left 150,000 holidaymakers stranded, with a fleet of chartered aircraft used to bring them back from around 53 destinations across 17 countries.

Travellers who booked a package holiday with Thomas Cook should be ATOL-protected and receive a refund.
