David and Victoria Beckham celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary on 4 July, prompting many congratulations from their wealth of adoring fans.
Not only did the former England captain and Spice Girls singer slip back into their bright purple wedding reception ensembles, but Posh Spice also shared a slew of throwback photos from the lead-up to the wedding from the couple’s personal archive to celebrate the occasion.
Until now the photos were unseen by the public – minus a few key players that is, who not only appeared in the A-lister’s photos but can remember the lead-up to the big day personally. We tracked down Stansted Airport employee Andy Jeffrey, who told HELLO! about working with the Beckhams ahead of their big day and how a bridal dress crisis was averted.
Suffolk-based Andy, 60, first took up employment at Stansted Airport in 1991, working for several airlines including Harrods Aviation which he worked for during the year the Beckhams tied the knot. At the time he was “the guy with the bat” as he puts it, seeing aircrafts in, dealing with the passengers and luggage then moving the plane to its parking stand or hangar.
In his role, Andy was used to working with A-list clients from heads of state to royals, footballers, Hollywood stars, and everyone in between. It was in the summer of 1999 that Andy played a part in getting everything shipshape to fly decorations and such from London to Dublin for one of the most high-profile weddings in history.
