David and Victoria Beckham had prime seats for Wednesday’s once-in-a-generation eclipse.
The couple have shared photos of themselves in solar glasses as they enjoyed the spectacle from the deck of their $16million luxury yacht, which has taken them around the Med this summer.
The event saw the moon gradually slide across the face of the sun until it covered up to 96 per cent, with some parts of the country falling into complete darkness.
The eclipse coincided with the peak of the annual Perseids meteor shower, when thousands of space rocks burn up in Earth’s atmosphere as our planet passes through a belt of debris from comets.
As the eclipse took place the couple were ‘manifesting & making our wishes’, with David sharing a photo of their crystal collection.
Victoria and David’s middle son Romeo was also quick to share his delight at watching the eclipse, before watching his favourite team Arsenal compete in a friendly against Como.

Posting a selfie, he wrote: ‘Eclipse, and then Arsenal playing… doesn’t get better.’
The Beckham clan have been enjoying their summer getaway in the Mediterranean this month on board their £16million yacht Seven.
David and Victoria bought their 130ft boat in 2022, after previously buying a smaller vessel by the same name the year before.
It boasts five cabins, sleeping ten people and seven crew members.
Their boat features a spa bath on the upper deck, as well as a 65ft garage, plenty of water toys and a jet-ski to keep the family entertained.
Seven is named after David’s iconic football shirt number as well as their daughter Harper’s middle name.
While the trip is a family affair, youngest son Cruz has missed out this summer as he is currently touring with his band, The Breakers, around North America.
Meanwhile, Posh and Becks almost ran into their estranged son Brooklyn, who was on holiday with wife Nicola Peltz just down the coast in Nice earlier this month.
Brooklyn and Nicola holidayed with Elton John on his yacht, just a stone’s throw from where the Beckhams were also staying at the time.

The Beckhams and Elton have been pals for more than 30 years, with David affectionately calling the musician ‘Uncle Elton’ after the pair became friends in his football heyday.
Yet Elton appears to be pledging an allegiance with Brooklyn and Nicola as they enjoyed lunch on the sundeck.
Before heading to the South of France, David and Victoria had been in the US – with Romeo and Kim, Harper, 15, Cruz, 21, and his girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 30 – to watch the World Cup, but despite living in California, Brooklyn avoided meeting up with his family.
