David and Victoria Beckham have renewed their marriage vows in a secret ceremony and had matching tattoos as a permanent reminder of the occasion.

David Beckham organised the whole ceremony at Beckingham Palace and only told Victoria on the day. I think the reason he did not tell her is so their were no paps their or magazine coverage.

Some friends and family were at the intimate ceremony in a marked contrast to the lavish nature of their first wedding nine years ago.

One friend said after the ceremony: "We were in tears. It was beautiful and very non-showbiz."
