The Spice Girls got a chance to say “thank you” in person to Sir Richard Branson, the owner of Virgin Atlantic Airlines, for hooking them up with their very own 747 “Spice One.”

Earlier today, they showed up at London’s Heathrow Airport to attend the grand opening of a new terminal, where they met up with Branson and posed for some pictures.

Spice Girls fans that couldn’t get into their Wednesday night show at the Los Angeles Staples Center got a second chance to see Melanie Chisholm perform last night at The Mint.

And most of the Spice family was there to support her. Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham and her hot hubby David were in the audience cheering Mel on.

Oh yes, it is finally here. The Spice Girls reunion tour is officially underway, and the girls played their first show in Vancouver, British Columbia last night to 16,000 grateful fans.

The five UK superstars opened their show with a video of five “Spice-like” girls and their aspirations to one day become pop singers. Then Mel C, Mel B, Geri, Emma, and Victoria took the stage by storm with “Spice Up Your Life.”
