Dawn French has shared an appreciative post dedicated to her husband Mark Bignell.
The Vicar of Dibley star, 65, took to social media to mark her and 58-year-old Mark’s 10-year anniversary with a sweet picture.
In it, the legendary comedian shows off a present Mark gifted her in the traditional material of tin to represent a decade spent together.
Sweetly, charity boss Mark filled a rustic tin with love hearts as a gift for his wife, and the French & Saunders star seemed to enjoy the thoughtful present.
Alongside a slideshow of the present, Dawn wrote: ’10 years married = tin. So today I received a tin. Full of hearts. #keeper.’
Fans flooded to the comments section to wish her and Mark a happy anniversary.

‘Happy Anniversary ♥️ Gorgeous gift xx,’ one person wrote, while another said: ‘HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to you both! Hope you have a wonderful day celebrating!
Love you! ❤️❤️.’
Other followers began comparing notes, as one said: ‘I got an old pharmacy tin filled with goodies, a voucher for my beauty salon, some Jo Malone perfume and Pandora beads. So thoughtful. ❤️.’
Another confessed: ‘I got a tin of beans…❤️🙄.’
Dawn married therapist Mark in 2013 after they met through her late mother, Felicity.
Together, Mark and Felicity founded the charity Hamoaze House, which helps recovering drug and alcohol addicts assimilate back into society.

Hilariously, the beloved comedian once divulged Mark didn’t know who she was when they met.
Speaking to Saga magazine, she said: ‘I’m not boasting, but you’d actually have to have not watched television for the past 20 years to have avoided me, and he’d managed to do just that.’
The star was previously married to fellow comedian Sir Lenny Henry for 25 years, but the pair split in 2010.
During their time together, the comedians adopted a daughter, Billie Henry, now 32.
Now also step-mother to Mark’s two grown-up children Lily and Olly, Dawn and her husband enjoy the country life in their huge Cornwall seaside house, worth a reported £1,725,000.
