Son Jamie Redknapp also expressed his joy at seeing the shot of his parents on their big day, remarking: “Love this pic x happy anniversary.”

It isn’t the first time Harry – tipped to join the Strictly Come Dancing line up later this year – has posted the pic on social media. He also shared it with fans on Sandra’s birthday in May.

Speaking about their love on Good Morning Britain earlier this year, Harry said: “We were only just 17 when we started going out and we have never been apart.

“I don’t care what people think, I love her like mad, she’s my life.”
