Formula 1 legend Michael Schumacher's health condition has been surrounded by secrecy for a decade following a skiing accident. The sports star, 55, was seen in public for the first time in years as he attended his daughter Gina-Maria's wedding. She tied the knot with new husband Iain Bethke last Saturday in a glamorous ceremony at the family's villa in Majorca.

The racing star spent months in a medically induced coma and was allowed to return to the family home on Lake Geneva in September 2014.
