David Beckham turned 40 on the weekend. He celebrated with his family and friends – including four of the original spice girls, Scary Spice was sadly absent – in a private villa in Morocco, slept in, opened presents, ate a bountiful breakfast and partied the night away with wife Victoria.

How do we know all this? Well, Beckham’s birthday gift to the world was that he joined Instagram.
