What a gorgeous bridal party! (Picture: PA)
David Beckham looked proud as punch as he stood alongside his dad Ted, who married Hilary Meredith over the weekend.
Ted and Hilary, a solicitor, tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in London on Saturday, after announcing their engagement in March 2020.
The small private wedding was held at the historic Middle Temple in the capital’s law district on Saturday, with the pair surrounded by their immediate family.
Football star David acted as best man for his father, and could be seen looking simply delighted for the happy couple as they all posed for a family photo at the ceremony.
Becks looked resplendent in sharp tails for the formal event, as he posted alongside Hilary’s daughter Charlotte.
A gorgeous snap was released to celebrate the n[tials, which shows the group in front of a Christmas tree with Hilary wearing an elegant white satin dress, Charlotte in a glamorous blue velvet outfit and Ted and 46-year-old David co-ordinating in navy suits and silk ties.

The couple were married with Ted’s three children, eight of his grandchildren and Hilary’s mother and daughter Charlotte in attendance at the ceremony, a spokesperson for the family said.
The statement also said the pair are currently honeymooning out of the country.
A family affair, the ceremony was also attended by David’s wife Victoria and their children Romeo, 19, Cruz, 16, and 10-year-old Harper, who reportedly acted as a bridesmaid. However, the pair’s eldest son Brooklyn, 21, is said to be in the US.
Ted, 71, and Hilary, 62, met last year through their charity work for Army veterans at Broughton House Veteran Care Village and announced their engagement in March 2020.
Ted was previously married to David’s mother Sandra, and they divorced in 2002 after 32 years of marriage.
Meredith is a solicitor, lobbyist and campaigner best known for her work on behalf of the UK armed forces, veterans and their families.
