Victoria Beckham celebrates her 26th wedding anniversary
Victoria Beckham feels "so proud" of the life she's built with Sir David Beckham. The 51-year-old fashion designer has taken to social media to celebrate the couple's 26th wedding anniversary, and to express her love for the retired soccer star and their four children. Alongside a throwback photo of the loved-up couple sharing a kiss, Victoria - who has Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13, with David - wrote on X: "Another year, another chapter in our love story. [heart emoji] I'm so proud of the beautiful family and life we've built together. You and our four incredible children complete me. I love you so much #DavidBeckham xx Here's to 26 years!! xx (sic)" The celebrity duo tied the knot at Luttrellstown Castle in the Republic of Ireland on July 4, 1999. And David has also taken to social media to celebrate their latest wedding anniversary, thanking the singer-turned-designer for giving him four "beautiful children". Alongside some photos from their wedding day, David wrote: "26 years today you said YES to me. "Happy Anniversary and thank you for giving me our beautiful children and building the life that we have together. I love you Lady Beckham. (sic)" David also tagged the couple's three sons in his post, and added a mention for their daughter Harper, who does not have her own Instagram page. The couple celebrated their anniversary shortly after David was knighted by King Charles for his services to sport and charity. The 50-year-old sports star - who captained the England national team during his playing career - admitted to feeling "incredibly humbled" by the accolade. David - who also played for the likes of Manchester United and Real Madrid, before retiring in 2013 - said in a statement at the time: "Growing up in East London with parents and grandparents who were so patriotic and proud to be British, I never could have imagined I would receive such a truly humbling honour. "To have played for and captained my country was the greatest privilege of my career, and literally a boyhood dream come true."

SCG curator confident about ground, hits out at critics
SCG head curator Adam Lewis is confident the much maligned surface of the iconic venue will hold up for the remainder of the AFL season and has hit out at the "ill-informed" bashing of his ground staff. The state of the ground was a massive topic after several players slipped on the surface at the Paddington End during last Friday's clash between Sydney and the Western Bulldogs. Lewis thanked the Swans for moving their training sessions this week to Tramway Oval, across the road from the SCG, and said extra staff had worked last weekend with grow lamps used on the ground for up to 22 hours a day. While Sydney was lashed by a rain bomb on Tuesday, Lewis said the SCG had drained really well and was very confident the surface would hold up for Sunday's match between Sydney and Fremantle. "We had independent testing done as well with our own testing and we're lucky the AFL have sent up their testing as well and we've passed with flying colours," Lewis said at the SCG on Friday. Players had slipped over in other games earlier in the season, but Lewis said it was the volume of rain in recent times that had caused problems rather than the new turf laid after the Andrea Bocelli concert on April 3. "The grass did take when we relaid after the concert, but the problem we've had in Sydney is that the weather that we've had has been unpredicted," Lewis said. "The amount of rainfall that we've had has broken records and that end of the ground we have the northern grandstand, it creates a lot of shade in that area." Lewis said there was never any chance Sunday's game would be moved from the SCG as some had suggested, but acknowleged it had been a tough week for him and his staff. He said it was his worst nightmare watching players losing their footing last Friday. "We're preparing the field the best we can and as soon as we see that our hearts sink," Lewis said. "The first thing we do is turn off commentary because we know that they are just trying to create a story, but it hits hard. "Look, I think its (commentary) been over the top, I really think its been blown out of proportion, not just for me I can handle it, but for my team. "I've got a young team that's set a really high standard and they take pride in where they work at the SCG and they are putting in 110 per cent. "And the ill-informed information that's been piled on in social media, it's just unjust and it's not good. "These guys have got to understand my guys are humans and they don't need to be bashed." Asked if he anticipated any ongoing issues over the remainder of the season, Lewis said: "We're very confident we will be right for the rest of the year." AFL CEO Andrew Dillon told SEN he wasn't happy with the surface for last week's game. "The ground was absolutely safe but it wasn't at the level we expect," Dillon said. Lewis said Allianz Stadium next door to the SCG had drained well in the leadup to Saturday night's game between the British and Irish Lions and NSW Waratahs. There have been suggestions Allianz could be out of action for part of the A-League season should it require a fix for its drainage issues and Lewis said he was waiting for the results of independent tests on the ground before any decision is made.
