David Beckham's post was shared to 56.6 million followers, with plenty of sports personalities taking to the comments to wish Sandra a happy 70th birthday.
Among them was fellow footballer Robbie Keane, who wrote 'Happy birthday Sandra😘❤❤'
Many fans were quick to draw comparisons between Sandra and the late Princess Diana, with one user saying 'She looks very much like Princess Diana here. Not just facially but in how she exudes warmth'
Another agreed, saying 'Diana is that you?'
The final photo in the series shows David and Sandra in the present day, as he takes a selfie with her in the background. The pair are all smiles and we think Sandra looks fabulous!

Sandra's daughter-in-law Victoria also joined in the birthday celebrations, sharing a short clip of David reciting a speech to his mum, stirring lots of emotional responses around the table.
In his speech, David Beckham read "Everything that my mum does and believes in revolves around us and nothing really revolves around her."
"So tonight mum, this is for you as you are the most special person in all of our lives. What you do for me, for Joanne, for Lynn, for all of our grandkids is irreplaceable, so tonight is for you."
"You should enjoy it and have one more glass of Cointreau and lemonade. We love you and we appreciate everything you do and like I said, everything you do, you do if for everyone else so tonight should be about you. We love you."
Family is clearly very important to David, as he has four children of his own with wife Victoria. The couple have been married since 1999, and are still one of the most iconic celebrity pairs to this day.
