Michael Schumacher has been seen in public for the first time in 11 years
Michael Schumacher is said to have been seen in public for the first time in many years, after attending the wedding of his daughter Gina-Maria.
The 27-year-old married Iain Bethke last Saturday in a lavish ceremony at the family's villa in Majorca.
Schumacher continues to require round-the-clock medical attention following his life-changing skiing accident more than a decade ago.
Although he survived, the seven-time F1 champion spent months on artificial. Since being allowed to return to the family home in Lake Geneva in September 2014, he has been under the care of his wife Corinna and a team of doctors.
Fiercely protective of her husband's privacy, Corinna has only allowed a few trusted friends and relatives to visit him and only a handful of people inside and outside the Schumacher family are said to know the details of his condition and care.
But Michael's attendance at his daughter's wedding may signal a change in the family's attitude.
Measures were taken to ensure the F1 legend's privacy - reportedly all guests had to leave their mobile phones at the door so no one could take pictures of the 55-year-old.
