Stars get merry for Victoria Beckham's 40th birthday bash in London

Victoria Beckham's pals were out in force last night to celebrate the designer's 40th birthday in true, knees-up style. Stars including former Spice Girls Emma Bunton and Melanie Chisholm, and Coldplay singer Chris Martin (who recently separated from wife Gwyneth Paltrow), let their hair down at the Arts Club in London and were pictured leaving the venue around 2am in very high spirits indeed. Victoria's sister Louise Adams, the Beckhams' friends Gordon and Tana Ramsay, and Guy Ritchie and his pregnant fiancée Jacqui Ainsley also attended the intimate do; the last in a string of celebrations for the mum-of-four's milestone birthday.
