ITV News Anchor Lucy Meacock Ties the Knot in a Heartfelt Ceremony
Lucy Meacock, the former presenter of ITV‘s regional news program Granada Reports, celebrated a significant personal milestone by marrying her partner Jonathan in a picturesque ceremony held in Eccleston, Lancashire. The event, attended by close family and friends, was imbued with personal sentiments in honor of the couple’s shared journey.
Meacock, aged 64, who stepped back from her television role earlier in August after a storied 36-year career, expressed her profound happiness through social media, stating it was one of her happiest moments. “White roses adorned the ceremony, symbolizing Jonathan’s Yorkshire roots, along with a secret flower representing my late father,” Lucy shared on Instagram, revealing a heartfelt tribute to her parent’s memory.
The bride dazzled in a long-sleeved, glittering white gown, matched by Jonathan’s impeccable three-piece suit ensemble. The ceremony was marked with special touches, reflecting the couple’s mutual affection and the integration of cherished memories. “I left a flower at the site where I scattered my parents’ ashes, ensuring their presence in spirit,” Meacock disclosed.
The former news anchor took a reflective pause during the festivities, acknowledging the support of friends and professionals who contributed to her wedding day preparations. “My transformation today was possible thanks to a talented team,” she remarked, crediting her stylist and makeup artist.
Meacock’s departure from ITV was not a decision made lightly, she intimated, highlighting her deep connection with the North West community and the impact she hopes her work has had. “It’s been a privilege,” she stated, reflecting on her career.
Her announcement followed poignant coverage of tragic events, such as the Southport stabbings, underscoring the empathetic approach that characterized her reporting. “This has been one of the saddest weeks,” Meacock noted, paying tribute to the victims of such events.
After celebrating their union, Lucy and Jonathan plan to embark on a mini-moon, with a more extended honeymoon planned for the future, signifying the start of their new chapter together.
