Hello! David Beckham’s first Instagram snap from Marrakech as he turns 40

David Beckham has kicked off his 40th birthday celebrations by sharing an intimate snap with Instagram followers – just 24-hours after opening an account on the social media site.

The former footballer made his first foray on the enormously popular picture messaging service on Saturday morning from his luxury suite at the five-star Amanjena resort in Marrakech, Morocco, where he celebrated the milestone with 60 close friends and family members.

Pictured in bed and with one of his trademark sleeve tattoos on full display, Beckham is at his brooding best as he gazes into the camera lens. Captioning the shot, he wrote: ‘Good morning and hello! It’s great to finally be on Instagram, been a long time coming but I can’t wait to start sharing all my special moments with you.’

#sigh Oh you very gorgeous, gorgeous man.
