POSH and Becks may have been accused of being tacky and evasive with the media on their big day but screen legend Sir John Mills is renewing his wedding vows in style.

Sir John had organised a discreet ceremony for himself and his wife Mary Hayley Bell but was completely open when questioned about it by the press.

Where Victoria "Posh Spice" and David Beckham posed on thrones like royalty and set up an exclusive deal with a showbiz magazine; Sir John, who really is a king of the big screen, quite happily chatted to everyone.

He has decided to walk down the aisle for the first time as he and his wife had to be married in a register office while he was on leave from the army during the war.

He told one national newspaper how it was 'Hitler' who denied them a church ceremony and thought it would be a 'good idea to have another go'.

Here's a man aged 92 who is still working and still a legend but who continues to keep his feet firmly on the ground. The ceremony today will be a church near their Denham home.

He hasn't ordered a blacked out limo to take them to a secret location where they can set up some bad-taste pictures with selected paprazzi. Sir John and his wife are obviously much in love and have 60 years of marriage to prove it, not six months and a kiss-and-tell story like some of today's so-called romantic couples.

It is fantastic that this couple have chosen to be open about their ceremony even though they know that the event will probably be broadcast on television.

They are happy together and don't care who knows it.

The difference between Sir John and some of today's stars is that he is not just a showman but a showman with class.
