David and Victoria Beckham marked 20 years of marriage with a series of social media tributes.

The couple, who tied the knot on July 4 1999, posted a string of throwback photos on Instagram, charting their married life from their lavish wedding ceremony through to the present day.

Starting off with a close-up from his official wedding photos and finishing with a recent snap of his family of six, the former footballer wrote: “WOW 20 years, look what we created. Love you so much @victoriabeckham @brooklynbeckham @romeobeckham @cruzbeckham #HarperSeven.”

Victoria compiled a series of photos to make a short video clip, which included pictures from their wedding ceremony and reception, 90s snaps of the pair dressed in his and hers outfits and more recent images from high profile events such as Prince Harry’s royal wedding and the Fashion Awards.

“20 years today. I love you so much xxxxx Kisses x @davidbeckham,” she wrote.

David used his Instagram Stories to show off a special anniversary present from seven-year-old Harper, the couple’s youngest child and only daughter.

The 44-year-old shared a series of videos of a bespoke book titled “Happy Anniversary love Harper,” which featured cartoon representations of him and his wife through the years alongside a series of heart-warming messages directed at “Mummy and Daddy.”

She went on to thank the Beckhams for “all [her] amazing parties” and said that she loves “making memories” with her parents.

“I love my Daddy so much especially when you sing to me when I’m in the bath or when you make me ‘Daddy’s special sandwiches’ after school!” she added.
