The members of Take That cut dapper figures at the Greatest Days photo call during Cannes film festival on Wednesday.
The trio comprising of Gary Barlow, 51, Howard Donald, 54, and Mark Owen, 50, posed in their summery suits at the event to promote the film which will tell the story of their band’s rise to fame.
But a notable former member Robbie Williams, 48, was missing from the line up – after in 2014 both Robbie and Jason Orange decided to leave the group after it reformed.
