The reunited Spice Girls have had their first photoshoot ahead of their announcement of a comeback tour - and shown off their new image.

The Spices posed at the Meridian line at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, south-east London, as they announced a 25-date multi-million pound world tour.

Now all in their 30s and with six children between them, the group went for a more sedate pose than they would have done in their heyday.

Geri Halliwell, 34, has turned more demure since generating headlines around the world by wearing that famous Union flag dress.

The mother-of-one, who quit the band in 1998, was the centre of attention by standing in the middle of the group in a long, flowing, boho flower-print dress. After dying her ginger locks blonde, Ginger Spice is now ginger again.

Standing on the outside, Posh (Victoria Beckham), 33, wore her trademark super-skinny trousers with a corset-style top.

Mel B, 32, did not look too Scary in a red pencil skirt and corset top.

Baby (Emma Bunton), 31, soon to have her first child, covered up her bump in a black knee-length dress.

Mel C, 33, put her Sporty fashion days behind her in fitted black jeans, black heels, and a bomber jacket-style top.
