Ted, 73, who also wore a navy suit like his son, married Hilary, 62 in Temple, London and were joined by Hilary's daughter Charlotte.

The happy family posed in front of a twinkling Christmas tree, as David's new step mum and step sister held gorgeous bouquets of flowers.

David and Victoria Beckham's children Harper, ten, Romeo, 19, Cruz, 16 joined in the festivities but Brooklyn couldn't join as he is believed to be in America.

The famous family arrived in style in cars with blacked-out windows shortly after David's sister Lynne and her partner Kevin Briggs turned up.

Romeo, who invited girlfriend Mia Regan, also 19, to the wedding posted a photo of her with. the caption: "True love xxx".

A spokesman for the family said: "Ted and Hilary Beckham would like to confirm they were married on Saturday in a small private ceremony in London surrounded by immediate family including Ted’s 3 children and 8 grandchildren, Hilary’s mother and her daughter, Charlotte.

"Best man was Ted’s son, David. Bridesmaids Charlotte, Francesca and Harper looked beautiful in blue velvet dresses. The pair are currently honeymooning out of the country."

Ted divorced David's mum Sandra in 2002 after the pair had been married for 33 years.

David's parents marriage ended around the same time he was having problems at Manchester United.

The 73-year-old said his son's rise to fame was one of the reasons his first marriage to Sandra broke down.

In his autobiography 'David Beckham My Son', Ted said: "All the hype, all the stress, all the attention - it wasn't a world we were used to and it was very tough.

'"I don't think we were really prepared for it - although I'm not sure there's much you can do to prepare yourself.

"You just get swept along in it and bowled along. But it does wear you down."

A source told MailOnline: "'It was a very small private affair with just a handful of close family and friends, including David, Victoria and three of the children.

"David was best man and did all the usual things the best man does like hold the rings and he was due to give a speech as well.

"Ted is in his 70s and Hilary is in her 60s. It was the second wedding for both of them so they didn’t want to make a fuss of it but the whole family was delighted to be there."

The lovebirds met in 2019 while Ted worked with army veterans at Broughton House Veteran Care Village.

Hilary is a solicitor, lobbyist and campaigner and has worked with veterans and their families - their shared interest brought the two of them together.

A joint statement from the couple, said: '"While there are far more important things going on in the world right now, we are thrilled to say that we are happily engaged. Stay safe everyone."
