Iman has paid tribute to her late husband David Bowie in a touching Instagram photo, on what would have been their second 25th wedding anniversary.

Although Bowie and Iman married in a private ceremony in Lausanne, Switzerland on April 24, 1992, they solemnised their nuptials in Florence on June 6, that same year.

Iman’s latest post follows on from a previous photo she shared in April, commemorating their first wedding anniversary.

David Bowie tragically died on January 10, 2016, aged just 69, from a short battle with liver cancer that he kept secret from his fans.

“David died peacefully today surrounded by his family after a courageous 18-month battle with cancer,” the family said in a statement released a short time after his death.

Prior to his death, Iman took part in the show Oprah: Where Are They Now? and said the secret to a lasting marriage was timing.

“You have to be at the right time in your life that you’re ready for an everlasting relationship, that it becomes first, a priority in life.”

“If your career is important to you, don’t get married and have children, because something will give.”

She added, “’I know as women we want to be able to have it all, but we can’t have it all at the same time.

“So make your priority of what you want at that time. And sometimes you don’t even have to get married. Why do you have to get married?”

She also joked, “People say, ‘But do you give him fashion tips?’ What are you, crazy? We’re talking about David Bowie. He is fashion.”
