They are engaged!!! When I first read it I thought it was a joke!!! but apparently it's true!!!!! Weird isn't it? Can't think of a more unlikely couple (but I'm sure you lot can!)

Not sure her dress was improved by clumping about in flat shoes, but I suppose she didn't want to tower over him too much. I can't see anything attractive about him at all and he's really far more in my age range than he is hers. He obviously has hidden depths,

Luckygirl Sat 05-Mar-16 22:37:48

Hidden in the depths of his trousers maybe grin

Ana Sat 05-Mar-16 22:42:06

Well, I did hear a rumour that Mick Jagger didn't have much to brag about in that department...grin

Jalima Sat 05-Mar-16 22:50:18

I think Barry Humphries said his present to them is David Beckham and a pair of jump leads.
Everything should be ok then grin

I could say all sorts of things here but what I will say is - GOOD LUCK to you both.

I think Jerry Hall looked lovely and they both looked very happy. All I would say is that after a lifetime of Mick Jagger's shenanigans I think she deserves someone far better than Rupert Murdoch - and that has nothing to do with his age or what he may or may not have in his trousers.

NotTooOld Sun 06-Mar-16 10:40:29

She did look lovely. Lovely dress, lovely shoes - and I don't blame her for wearing flats, much more comfortable. I was a bit shocked by Bill Wyman, though. Was he wearing a woolly pully? And a paunch?

Jalima. Thanks for giving me a laugh. I now have a picture in my head that won't go away!

Jalima Sun 06-Mar-16 10:51:55

nightowl perhaps at 84 he has mellowed and they will have a few happy years together (with the help of David Beckham grin)

henetha Sun 06-Mar-16 10:52:01

My first reaction was... Gosh, really? But upon thinking about it,
if this is what they both want, then good luck to them and I hope they
will find what they are looking for in each other. Happiness is not easy to find, not even when you are rich. So, all the best to them.

TriciaF Sun 06-Mar-16 11:12:09

Lots of photos if you google.
Jerry Hall's ankles looked a bit puffy, maybe that's why she's wearing flat shoes. They both looked very happy - good luck to them.

Badenkate Sun 06-Mar-16 11:14:55

Loved it Jamila. I'm quite happy to have a picture in my mind of David Beckham wink

rafichagran Sun 06-Mar-16 11:52:15

Good luck to them, what has it got to do with anyone else. As people rightly point out she has her own money, so maybe she just loves him and wants to be with him.

Gemmag Sun 06-Mar-16 12:01:04

I'm sure she knows what's she's doing. Very clever lady and very clever man. She has looked incredibly happy in every photo of them I have seen.
She is after all 59 not 29 and has had all the sex and enjoyed it too I'm sure.
There is more to life like diamonds, jets £££££.
They are both very happy and long may it last.

Jalima Sun 06-Mar-16 12:46:35

has had all the sex
Surely not at an end hmm

I think it has to do with us all when celebrities court so much publicity.

Jalima Sun 06-Mar-16 12:47:13

That last sentence came out wrong, I meant to say that 'I think we feel it has to do with us all etc '

annsixty Sun 06-Mar-16 13:44:49

Jalima perhaps not for her but surely for him.
Makes me shudder. But they did look very happy.

Blondehedgehog Sun 06-Mar-16 13:50:07

As the old saying goes....Marry in Lent live to repent.....I will wait and see

grumppa Sun 06-Mar-16 13:56:03

Excellent pension planning on her part, but I'd like to see the Pre-Nup.

Cambia Sun 06-Mar-16 16:12:24

I like Jerry Hall, she always seems to be her own person and seems happy and well adjusted. I think she likes being with interesting men and whilst he may be old he can't be stupid! I am sure she is wealthy enough in her own right to pick and choose and this is what she has done. Good luck to both of them and don't forget, nobody thinks it strange for men to marry younger women.

Dee Sun 06-Mar-16 17:41:13

As my mum would have said, "It'll save 'em spoiling another pair!"
Happy Mothers Day mum.
Another of her sayings was, "You could leave him on't doorstep all night and nobody'd run off with him.
I could go on................

Oh, please! Stop mentioning David Beckham. I'm trying to work.

Who would have thought that someone who first came to our elderly notice as the lovely Brian Ferry's girlfriend would end up with the not lovely Rupert?

Perhaps Rupe has a couple of billion other attractions (in the bank).

TriciaF Mon 07-Mar-16 11:37:49

Re- thinking this, I think Grumpa had hit the nail on the head - "I'd like to see the Pre-Nup."
I also think it was a bit hard on the daughters to act as bridesmaids. After all they probably still have some love left for their other parent.

Iam64 Mon 07-Mar-16 19:40:57

I hope Jerry Hall is happy, she deserves to be. I liked her frock and Deedaa, 'clumping about in flat shoes' is something I've had to do for years because of arthritis. It was a Big Deal for me when planning my outfit when my daughter had a big wedding a few years ago. I managed it but to be honest, I'd have been very hurt if someone had accused me of clumping about in flat shoes.
I notice that even Victoria Beckham is now wearing flat shoes, I suspect her bunions have got the better of her.
