Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster Celebrate 18th Anniversary in Portofino

Rod Stewart and his wife Penny Lancaster put on a loved-up display soaked up the sun in Italy on Saturday as they went on a shopping spree.

Sir Rod, 80, and Penny, 54, have been celebrating their 18th wedding anniversary by revisiting the country where they said ‘I do’ on June 16, 2007.

Rod and Penny walked the streets of Portofino, where they exchanged vows almost 20 years ago.

Penny put on a leggy display in a stylish beige dress that she paired with a brown Chanel handbag. 

Meanwhile, Rod was aptly dressed for the warm weather as he cut a smart figure in a white shirt and cream, pinstripe trousers. 

He wore a hat to protect himself from the sun as they purchased items from high-end shops including Mingo and Louis Vuitton.

As it featured both of them wearing bibs, she joked: ‘Making a mess of ourselves.’

In another snap, captioned with an ‘I Love You’ graphic, the pair could be seen smiling with ice creams.

Ringing in their anniversary, the couple also revisited the memorable locations from their love story with a journey on the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express.

Giving an insight into their holiday, Penny shared a photo of herself and Rod in front of the train.

She looked incredible in a pink floral shirt which she teamed with a matching skirt and stiletto heels.

She captioned her Instagram post: ‘Entering a bygone era @vsoetrain from Paris where we got engaged to Portofino where we got married 18 years ago, it’s totally magical Sir Rod Stewart xxxx’
