Saved! Dog left tied up in church
DEBONAIR David Beckham is no stranger to dressing up like a country squire.
And some of his family dug out befitting outfits at their holiday home in the Cotswolds for a New Year message.
David, 44, wore a cap and tie with a camel sweater and khaki trousers. Designer wife Victoria, 45, went for a grey tweed blazer and printed blouse from her own range, plus stonewashed jeans.
Harper, eight, took her lead from her parents in beige jumper and tweed skirt.
The family are keen to be accepted as part of the rural set and often dress to suit the part.
But the boys did not appear to get the latest branded gentry memo – and stuck with their sweats.
Eldest son Brooklyn, 20, went for a yellow jumper, grey jacket and jeans while Cruz, 14, wore a navy pullover.
Romeo, 17, looked even more casual in grey hoodie and combat pants.
England football hero David posted the photo with the message: “Happy New Year from the Beckhams...2020 here we go, let’s do this.”
Romeo added in his post: “Oh hey 2020.”
The night before, the family threw a New Year’s bash at their country pile, complete with dinner party, a fireworks display across the lawns and plenty of singing and dancing.
David was seen with Harper on his shoulders. They bopped along to Yvonne Elliman’s If I Can’t Have You, having welcomed in 2020 with Carly Simon’s You’re So Vain.
Brooklyn filmed himself dancing with his girlfriend Nicola Peltz, 24, as he mimed the lyrics of the song.
A DOG was left abandoned and tied up in a church before Christmas with a note from its owner that read: “I love you and I’m so so sorry.”
It continued that he had become homeless and didn’t want the Staffordshire bull terrier-cross to be cold and hungry with him outside.
The note read: “Please believe me when I say I haven’t done this easily. My dog means the world to me and I don’t know what else to do.”
Now churchgoers at Sacred Heart Church, Blackpool, have named the pet Cracker and he is being cared for at a private boarding kennel.
RSPCA inspector Will Lamping said: “It’s so sad to read and see how much Cracker’s owner loved it.
“It’s doing well and is getting lots of TLC. If no one comes forward to claim it then it’ll go to one of our rehoming centres.
“If anyone does come forward then I’d like to let them know they won’t be in any trouble.
“If anyone is struggling to care for a pet then please reach out to your vet, a local rescue centre or charity, or one of the charities such as the RSPCA.
“And if you’re having financial difficulties or find yourself homeless then please just ask for help.”
