The Beckhams Have Landed

In an atmosphere of fevered anticipation that went to hysteria and beyond, David and Victoria Beckham set foot on US soil together for the first time early today as they began their new life as America's Mr and Mrs Soccer.

Media types pushed and shoved behind the barriers, stony-faced security men did their best to keep them at bay, and teenage girls sighed and said it was "awesome".

On the plane over from Heathrow, normal celebrity rules applied: just as with some deities, ordinary mortals are not allowed to look at them directly, so with the Beckhams no member of the public was allowed to take pictures or approach them.


As the Beckhams made their way past the media scrum - David, 32, in blue jeans and black belted jacket, Victoria, 33, in a black dress and trademark oversized sunglasses - the children (Brooklyn, eight, Romeo, four, and two-year-old Cruz, all dressed in matching red striped shirts, white shorts and trainers) were taken out of the airport separately.

So like okay...... who will David Beckham cheat with first....... Tommy?
