David Beckham has kicked off his 40th birthday celebrations by sharing an intimate snap with Instagram followers - just 24-hours after opening an account on the social media site.
The former footballer made his first foray on the enormously popular picture messaging service on Saturday morning from his luxury suite at the five-star Amanjena resort in Marrakech, Morocco, where he will celebrate the milestone with 60 close friends and family members.
Pictured in bed and with one of his trademark sleeve tattoos on full display, Beckham is at his brooding best as he gazes into the camera lens.
Captioning the shot, he wrote: 'Good morning and hello! It’s great to finally be on Instagram, been a long time coming but I can’t wait to start sharing all my special moments with you.
'Thank you for all your birthday messages so far. Looking forward to a great day with friends and family x.' Beckham and fashion designer wife Victoria touched down in the Moroccan capital on Friday evening ahead of a weekend long celebration with a host of celebrity friends - among them TV chef Gordon Ramsay and his family.

Victoria shared a sweet snap of herself with the birthday boy on her own Instagram page, posing in front of their large private jet after their long-haul flight to the African country.
'So excited to be celebrating David's birthday x #DB40 x vb,' she wrote along with the snap.
She stuck to using her self-made hashtag for the occasion, #DB40, that she began using earlier in the week.
Dropping hints: Earlier in the week, Victoria let on that she and her husband were heading to Morocco to celebrate his 40th with an Instagram snap of a potential outfit, along with the hashtag #DB40
The 41-year-old had previously shared a sneak peek of their getaway when she posted a picture of a vintage Yves Saint Laurent top along with a suggestive memo.'What to wear in Marakesh (sic)? Vintage Yves Saint Laurent #DB40 x vb,' she quipped. The Amanjena hotel's restaurant specialises in Moroccan and Mediterranean cuisine, but if the group tire of the local delicacies there's also a Thai restaurant on site, while a private dining space could be hired out for David's birthday dinner.Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3065125/David-Beckham-posts-Instagram-snap-Marrakesh-turns-40-promises-share-special-moments.html#ixzz3Z3TQ9u96
