Victoria Beckham pays tribute to ‘inspiration’ parents on their 51st wedding anniversary

Victoria Beckham has penned a moving message to her parents Jackie and Anthony Adams on their 51st wedding anniversary today.

The former Spice Girl took to Instagram to wish her parents a happy anniversary, sharing a snap of the pair stood in front of a picturesque lake.

“Happy anniversary!! 51 years!! We love you both so much!!!,” she said.

“Your marriage is an inspiration to us every day,” she concluded the post as she shared the message with her 30 million followers.

Her mum was tagged in the post on her own Instagram account, which unlike her famous daughter, has a following of just over 120 people.

She did however reply to her daughter’s post which didn’t seem to get lost in amongst the 200 other comments from adoring fans.

“Thank you!!! I’m sure your marriage is also an inspiration to lots of people,” she said.

“Love you all so so much. Have a fantastic holiday. Xxx”

One fan replied to Victoria’s post: “Congratulations to your mam and dad... obviously you’re following in their footsteps with your happy marriage too.”

Another said: “Congratulations! [The] world needs inspirations like this.”

David also took to Instagram to wish his in-laws a happy anniversary, sharing a snap of himself stood between the loved-up pair.

He captioned the image: “We love you. Happy anniversary. 51 years today.”

He shared another picture of Jackie and Anthony on their own at the table of a restaurant, followed by love heart emojis.

The wedding anniversary comes just one day after David’s dad’s birthday.

The former professional footballer’s father, who shares the same name with the ex-England striker but is known by his nickname Ted, celebrated his 71st birthday yesterday.

“Happy Birthday Dad x love you,” David posted to his 74 million Instagram followers.

The wedding anniversary celebrations follow an almost clear sign that Victoria could be re-joining the Spice Girls to sing one last time.

Footage shows the moment she belted out their hit Stop on karaoke with four stand-in Spices, while on holiday in St Tropez, on the French Riviera, with David and her family.

Her proud husband David shared the clip as he lovingly referred to her as "the one & only Posh Spice".

Impressively, VB still knew all her old choreo dance moves, despite not per­­forming with the group for a decade, when she last made an appearance at the Olympics closing ceremony in 2012.

Victoria’s revival of Posh comes shortly after bandmate Mel C heavily implied Victoria could re-join the group to play at next year’s Glastonbury festival.

Mel said she has “a good feeling” the group will reunite as a five-piece to play the festival, which she says would be an “absolute dream”.

“The girls and I, we have chatted about it,” she said, while DJing at Worthy Farm last month, before making a surprise guest appearance with Blossoms.

The group previously toured without Posh in 2019.
