The self-taught painter was celebrating the news that his artworks were now being sold through Sotheby's. Lincoln's art explores the "darker side" of someone's personality and he paints in an abstract style.
In a heartfelt tribute, Denise shared a picture of her husband outside a Sotheby's store and penned: "From the day I met this man I knew he was special. Many people who didn't know us judged our relationship and some who did know us.

She finished by saying: "I couldn't be prouder and at the heart of everything he does is me and our family. Thank you @lincolntownley," and added a heart emoji.

She then left a sweet message for the man she called the "best husband" as she wrote: "Even with the challenges we currently face, my husband makes me laugh every day.
"We face this messy world sober together and that's tough but together we are strong and my love for him grows every day. Bit soppy but it's our anniversary so I'm allowed."
Denise and Lincoln married in 2013 in a beautiful ceremony that was held in Portugal. It was Denise's third wedding; she married actor David Easter in 1983 before their split in 1988. She then married actor Tim Healy later that year, before they divorced in 2012.
Lincoln was also previously married to Beverly Jones for just four months, before she filed for divorce citing "unreasonable behaviour".
