Victoria then tagged all of her children in the heartfelt post.
The video shared by the fashion designer sees David sitting beside Brooklyn, Cruz and Harper, all snuggled up on a sofa.
They're enjoying drinks while singing Sherry by The Four Seasons, and all look in great spirits.
David attempts to sing too low at one point in the clip, leading Brooklyn to break out into laughter.
One person commented: 'I always thought he was a very present father, with strong life values, loving but authoritative but also strict. Together you raised four "healthy" young adults and I think that in your world it is not easy unfortunately. Good job!'
A second person penned: 'Happy Father's Day to your wonderful husband,' and a third said: 'No matter what is happening with Brooklyn you will still protect him at all cost! Nothing but respect for you.'
Victoria also posted a carousel of throwback photos of David with all of his children.
Victoria took to social media on Saturday to share a sweet photo hugging her husband, and planting a kiss on his cheek.
Beckhams vs Peltzs: Why Harper holds the key to ending the family feud
The fashion designer penned a lengthy caption, which read: 'You've always been my knight in shining armour, but now it's official. Sir @davidbeckham!!! What an honour, I couldn't be prouder of you.
'Your dedication to the things that matter most — your country, your work, your passion, and most of all, your family — has never wavered.
'The way you've touched so many lives over the years with kindness and humility speaks volumes about the man you are and continues to inspire us everyday. But above all else, I'm so, so proud to call you mine. I love you so much xxxx'
Victoria wasn't the only one of the Beckham clan to share their congratulations, with Romeo Beckham also posting on his social media.
What do David Beckham's tattoos mean?
Hands
Starting with the hands, and David Beckham has the word "Love" inked across the top of his left hand, with a swallow on either side.
This is joined by the numbers 723, a combination of the shirts he famously wore for Manchester United and later Real Madrid.
On his little finger, he has the year he was married.
Becks also has a small female-stick figure designed by his daughter Harper.
The devoted husband has "Posh' tattooed on a finger as a nod to wife Victoria Beckham 's Spice Girls nickname.
Arms
Becks has two sleeve tattoos on both his arms with the centrepieces paying tribute to his marriage to Victoria.
The most famous of his body art comes in the shape of her name along the inside of his forearm, which is inked in Sanskrit.
Both Posh and Becks have Hebrew tattoos, which they got to celebrate their sixth wedding anniversary.
The matching tatts translate to, "I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine".
Meanwhile, Becks also has a separate rose inking on his left arm to mark the couple's tenth anniversary.
Neck
One of Beckham's most famous tattoos is on his neck, which is a gothic style cross and wings.
It is symbolic of to his religion and acts as a protective guardian of his son Romeo, whose name is tattooed just below the angel wings.
Beckham also has the name of his daughter, Harper, on the side of his neck.
This was later updated to include the words "Pretty Lady", to mark her fourth birthday.
Back
Beckham's back tattoos serve as tribute to his sons.
He has angel wings at the top as a sign of protection for them.
Becks has both his eldest on Brooklyn, and his youngest son Cruz 's names inked across his back.
Body
Beckham has a large chest tattoo that is an image of himself as Jesus, with three cherubs representing his sons, Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz.
The footy ace also has a vertical tattoo down his left side in Chinese symbols - this translates as 'Death and life have determined appointments".
Paying homage to his father, he has an inking of a ship at full mast - which is identical to the same one his dad has.
He shared a black and white snap from David's 50th birthday in May, and wrote: 'So so proud of you,' followed by heart emojis.
Cruz Beckham also shared some kind words for his dad, and posted a photo of him sitting outdoors gazing at the camera.
David's youngest son wrote: 'I'm so proud dad I love you. Sir David Beckham has a nice ring to it.'
As of yet, David and Victoria's eldest son, Brooklyn, hasn't shared a message of congratulations publicly for his father.
But including all his family in his celebratory knighthood statement, David wrote: 'Growing up in East London with parents and grandparents who were so patriotic and proud to be British I never could have imagined I would receive such a truly humbling honour.
'To have played for and captained my country was the greatest privilege of my career and literally a boyhood dream come true.
'It will take a little while for the news to sink in but I'm immensely proud and it's such an emotional moment for me to share with my family.'
David's exciting achievement comes after his 26-year-old Brooklyn, who lives in LA with wife Nicola Peltz, 30, was revealed to have no desire to speak to his parents or siblings after only learning about his dad's knighthood in the press, an insider told Page Six.
The sourced said: "Brooklyn told his family he wants no contact and he's not responding to those that try to connect.'
However, a source close to Brooklyn denied this and said, "this seems to be another deliberate attempt to misrepresent the truth, and it only serves to distract from this honor being bestowed on Brooklyn's father."

The Guardian view on the Women's prize for nonfiction: shining a light where it's badly needed
Female nonfiction writers are paid less on average, receive fewer reviews and win fewer prizes than men. Unsurprisingly, this means that women sell fewer books. So far this year, more than 60% of titles on the UK's hardback and paperback nonfiction bestseller lists have been by men. Kate Mosse wants to change this. Famously, she set up the Women's prize for fiction after there was not a single woman on the 1991 Booker shortlist. This year Ms Mosse's award celebrates its 30th anniversary. With previous winners including Zadie Smith, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Maggie O'Farrell, it has changed the publishing landscape to the extent that some suggest it is now redundant: last year, five out of the six books on the Booker prize shortlist were by women, and the winner was Samantha Harvey. Indeed, such is the pre-eminence of female novelists that there is talk of a crisis in men's fiction, and plans for an independent publisher, Conduit Books, especially for male authors. Nonfiction publishing, however, is a strikingly different story. Hence Ms Mosse's latest project: the Women's prize for nonfiction, which aims to do for female authors of serious narrative nonfiction what has already been achieved with fiction. Last year, Naomi Klein's quasi-memoir Doppelganger, about conspiracy theories and truth in politics, was the award's first winner. Last week, The Story of a Heart, by the doctor and writer Rachel Clarke, became the second, with her moving interweaving of the story of two children connected by a heart transplant with the history of heart surgery. Nonfiction books by women are not the only ones in need of help. With a few notable exceptions (including Prince Harry's memoir Spare and James Clear's self-help bestseller Atomic Habits), the overall picture for nonfiction publishing is bleak: last year, specialist and trade nonfiction combined had their lowest sales, in money terms, since 2015. In another blow for the publishing industry, last week a National Literacy Trust report revealed that reading for enjoyment among children and young people in the UK is at its lowest level in two decades. Only a quarter of teenage boys said they read books in their free time. One understandable response to figures like these is to emphasise the value of reading per se. But who and what we read matters as well as whether we do it. Part of the imbalance in nonfiction has been a historical perception of male expertise, particularly on certain topics. As with bias in class and race, publishing has been slow to address this proactively. In her 2021 book, The Authority Gap, examining why women are still taken less seriously than men, Mary Ann Sieghart stresses the importance of encouraging boys to read books about girls, and for men to seek out women's voices. There have been many efforts to address such discrimination constructively. Women Also Know Stuff, for example, is a database of experts created with the aim of increasing female representation. 'Most women fight wars on two fronts,' Rebecca Solnit wrote in her essay Men Explain Things to Me. 'One for whatever the putative topic is and one simply for the right to speak, to have ideas, to be acknowledged to be in possession of facts and truths, to have value.' For the help it offers to female authors fighting such battles, as well as the attention it brings to new books, the Women's prize for nonfiction should be welcomed.

Men Behaving Badly's Leslie Ash, 65, makes rare public appearance using a pink walking stick at London's Lido Festival
MEN Behaving Badly star Leslie Ash used a pink walking stick during a rare public appearance at Lido Festival. Leslie, 65, played the role of Debs Burton on the popular 1990s sitcom. 3 Her character was the love interest to Tony Smart, played by Neil Morrissey. She attended the festival in Victoria Park, London, alongside her husband, former footballer Lee Chapman. The actress opted for a casual look, with a white shirt, dark blue denim jeans and pink trainers. In 2004, while in hospital, Leslie contracted a 'deadly strain' of the MRSA superbug due to an abscess on her spinal column. It left her with a devastating injury - 25 per cent of her spine damaged. Leslie was initially told she would never walk again, but she has managed to defy the odds and now only relies on a stick at certain times. She previously told The Sun: 'It was a nightmare. Twenty five per cent of my spine was damaged by the abscess I had on my back from the epidural. 'That happened to be the part that connects with my brain and gives me my balance. If I shut my eyes, I have no idea where I am. "If someone walks into me it wouldn't take much for me to be knocked off my feet so I carry the stick as a warning. She added: 'I was in and out of hospital for 15 years and it left me depressed. They put me on antidepressants for a long time. Men Behaving Badly's Leslie Ash admits you 'probably couldn't make' sitcom in today's cancel culture as she gives health update 'I wouldn't advise anyone to go on antidepressants — work it out, talk to someone but don't go on those pills because they just numb you. 'You don't feel happy, you don't feel sad, you are just in a zone. Then you find it difficult to get out of that zone. 'I was so frightened to come off them because I was using them as pain relief and worried I would be left really low and depressed. I've come through it now.' Leslie is also known for starring opposite Phil Daniels in 1979 film Quadrophenia. Last year, she opened up about whether Men Behaving Badly could made today. Best BBC comedies A BBC boss called on the industry to "save our sitcoms", but the corporation has a history of fantastic shows. We look back at some of the best to ever grace the screen. Fawlty Towers (1975-1979) - Only two series were made of the beloved institution. However, the cultural impact of the series starring John Cleese and Connie Booth spans decades. It follows rude and intolerant Basil Fawlty (Cleese) as he attempts to improve the reputation of his hotel. Only Fools and Horses (1981-2003) - The show was crowned by some as the best British sitcom of all time by a TV poll in 2004. Seven series were broadcast on BBC until 1991 with additional sporadic Christmas specials airing until 2003. Sir David Jason starred as ambitious market trader Derek "Del Boy" Trotter whilst Nicholas Lyndhurst played his younger half-brother Rodney. Set in working-class Peckham in south-east London, it follows the highs and lows of the lives of the Trotters', in particular their brazen attempts to get rich. Blackadder (1983 - 1989) - Four series were made of the iconic show, created by Richard Curtis and Rowan Atkinson. Each series spans a different historical period as anti-hero Edmund Blackadder (Atkinson) tries to better himself in each society. Accompanied by his dogsbody Baldrick (Tony Robinson), trouble always ensues. A TV poll in 2004 found that Blackadder was voted the second-best British sitcom of all time Absolutely Fabulous (1992 - 2012) - Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley star as failing PR guru Edina 'Eddie' Monsoon and alcoholic fashionista Patsy Stone. The pair embark on heavy-drinking sessions and abuse drugs in a desperate attempt to stay 'hip'. Eddie constantly chases bizarre fads and fails to lose weight whilst her disappointed and neglected daughter Saffy (Julia Sawalha) looks on. Little Britain (2003 - 2006) - The premise is simple. A sketch show which features different British people from all walks of life that are engaged in all sorts of comical scenarios. Starring Matt Lucas and David Walliams, the pair created iconic pop culture characters. Viewers loved obnoxious council estate teenager Vicky Pollard, morbidly obese scrounger Bubbles Devere, slimming coach Marjorie Dawes, despondent office worker Carol Beer, disgraced politician Sir Norman Fry, of course the iconic Lou and Andy! The Catherine Tate Show (2004-2015) - A sketch show starring the likes of Catherine Tate. She made iconic characters such as rowdy schoolgirl Lauren Cooper with her line 'Am I bovvered?'. Other characters featured Bernie the nurse, the aga saga woman, complaining couple Janice and Ray, and of course her infamous 'Nan', Joannie Taylor. The last character herself spawned multiple specials and even a movie. Gavin and Stacey (2007 - Present) The series tells the story of Gavin (Matthew Horne) and Stacey (Joanna Page). The pair embarked on an online and telephone romance for six months. But when they finally decide to be together properly, their friends and family get in the way. Ruth Jones and James Corden created the beloved show, which has been going for over a decade. The 2019 Christmas special was the most-watched comedy in 17 years and the most-viewed non-sporting event in a decade. She told Richard Madeley: "You probably couldn't make it today. "It is good to re-watch. People should learn where we come from. "It's different but it's so funny." Leslie added: "It's a shame [it couldn't be made now.] "It's of our time. But men were like that in those days, I am sorry to say!"

Happy Father's Day Dada! Princess Eugenie shares sweet photo tribute to husband Jack Brooksbank
Princess Eugenie has shared a sweet photo tribute to her husband Jack Brooksbank to mark Father's Day. The mother-of-two took to her Instagram Stories to give royal watchers a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse into her family life, by posting four images of Jack and their two sons, Ernest, two, and August, four. The snaps Eugenie, 35, posted, did not show her son's faces, however they did reveal sweet family moments. One, which showed Jack hugging one of the youngsters, was overlayed with text saying: 'Happy Father's Day Dada!'. Another, shot from behind, showed the two boys holding their father's hands as they walked through an airport. The two further images appeared to show moments from a family holiday, with one featuring Jack carrying their children down a wooden path through a sandy area, and the other showing him playing in a swimming pool with them. Eugenie's sweet tribute came just weeks after she shared a touching tribute to her 'golden boy' Ernest as he celebrated his second birthday. She shared a series of photos of both of her boys as she marked her youngest son's birthday on Instagram. In one photograph, Ernest was shown being thrown into the air by his father while on a snowy ski trip. In another, he played in the mud with his four-year-old brother. The mother-of-two wrote: 'Happy Birthday my darling Ernie. 2 today! And what an incredible two years it's been. 'Always smiling, always laughing, always giving hugs and hello's and making everyone happy. 'My golden boy, we love you!' In other pictures from the rare snapshot, Ernie and August were seen holding hands as they walked down a street in London. Another pictured them together on an airplane. Ernie is also seen being held by his mother while on a ski trip, the youngster bundled up in a bright teal snowsuit and holding firmly to a lion-shaped comforter. And in another, he adorably wears a pair of sunglasses upside-down. Another of the photographs showed Jack Brooksbank walking through what appeared to be an airport with their two sons Royal watchers were quick to join in the birthday celebrations in the comments of Eugenie's Instagram post. One person said: 'Lovely photos, hope Ernie has the best day.' Another added: 'Oh wow they are getting so big. Feels only yesterday I was watching your wedding on the telly! Happy birthday Ernie.' And a third said: 'Happy, Happy 2nd Birthday Ernie!!! Lots of love to you all!!!' Eugenie recently spoke about motherhood while appearing on a recent episode of Cressida Bonas and Isabella Branson's podcast, Lessons From Our Mothers alongside her sister Princess Beatrice. According to the royal, learning to harness one's inner strength was one of the most important lessons she had gleaned from her mother. Princess Eugenie said: 'I think for me, it's the fire inside, you know, the strength inside of you. And how to bring that out, and to pull it in when you most need it'. Eugenie married wine merchant Jack in October 2018 in a stunning ceremony at St George's Chapel in Windsor. The pair first began dating in 2011 and confirmed their relationship in an appearance at Royal Ascot that same year. When Eugenie left London to work for an auction house in New York in 2013, the pair maintained a long distance relationship. At the time, Jack told The Daily Mail: 'We spend a lot of time on Skype. It's great. We're still very much together.' In 2015 the Princess returned to London where the pair grew ever closer - and they sparked engagement rumours the following year. But it was two more years before Jack popped the question while the pair were away in Nicaragua in January 2018.
