David and Victoria Beckham are celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary.

Dubbed Posh and Becks, the Spice Girl turned fashion designer and the former England football captain’s highs and lows have often made headlines.

Here are the key moments from the last two decades:

A spokesman for the pair blames the speculation on “fake social media news” before adding: “This is all very bizarre and an embarrassing waste of time.”
