Elton John marked his first wedding anniversary by making a plea for gay marriage to be legalised across the world.
The "Rocket Man" star wed David Furnish on December 21, 2014 to embrace law changes in the UK which legalised gay marriage nearly a decade after the couple entered into a civil partnership in 2005.
John marked their first official wedding anniversary this week by posting a touching statement on Instagram, praising his longterm partner and insisting they are "happier than ever".
"Ten years ago... We were one of the first couples to embark on a Civil Partnership in the UK... One year ago... We renewed our lifetime pledge to each other by getting legally married. Today, we are happier than ever - and want to thank fans and friends for supporting us with such open hearts and joyful spirit.
