Rod Stewart, 80, looks jubilant as he watches beloved Celtic lift league trophy in Glasgow with his son Alastair, 19
Rod Steward seemed in good spirits as he and his son Alastair were pictured in the stands at Celtic Park on Saturday.
The rock star, 80, was in attendance to watch his beloved Celtic lift the Scottish Premiership trophy on the final day of the season in Glasgow.
Rod certainly dressed up for the occasion, with the icon sporting a suave black and white tux and an undone tie as he was pictured making time for fans before kick-off.
With his blonde hair styled in his trademark messy style, the Scotsman wore a white shirt half unbuttoned which he tucked into a pair of grey slacks.
Rod watched the match with his rarely-seen son Alastair, 19, and the pair looked elated to be enjoying the moment together.
The father and son duo were snapped belting out songs pre-match as the atmosphere was building at the historic Celtic Park.
Rod and Alastair will have undoubtedly left the game in as good of a mood as when they arrived after a last-minute James Forrest goal earnt a draw for the champions - who lifted the league trophy in the Scottish sunshine after the game.
The pair's appearance together on Saturday comes weeks after Alastair announced a significant change in career direction.
Speaking to the Daily Mail at the premiere of David Attenborough's Ocean in early May, the 19-year-old said: 'I was attending that fashion college but I've left now.
'I'm in a bit of a transitional period at the moment. I'm trying to get into the film industry and I want to follow my passion.
'I've made a few short plays, I write a lot of scripts and I write a lot of screenplays.'
Earlier this week, Alastair, who father-of-eight Rod shares with wife Penny Lancaster, 54, attended the premiere of Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning in Leicester Square with his father.
Rod put on an animated display on the red carpet upon the family's arrival but appeared weary as he was leaving the venue on Thursday.
The 80-year-old was seen staring straight ahead and was no doubt looking forward to some rest as he was led to his car following the eventful night out.
In contrast, Penny looked full of beans as she delightedly clutched her Mission: Impossible collectors popcorn tin while climbing into their waiting car.
The Maggie May hitmaker has eight children with five different women, two of whom are sons Alastair, 19, and Aidan, 14, which he raises with third wife Penny.
Rod also has Liam, 30, and Renee, 32, with his second wife, model Rachel Hunter, 55, while Kimberly, 45, and Sean, 44, are from his first marriage to actress Alana Stewart, 79.
Daughter Ruby, 37, is from a former relationship with model Kelly Emberg, 65 and Rod's firstborn child is Sarah Streeter, 61, who was raised by her adoptive parents Gerald and Evelyn Thubron.

Chelsea to trim sizeable loan group
Chelsea are open to the fact that they need to sell a host of players, especially those that spent last season on loan. The club's policy is not to carry a large group of loanees that are not expected or likely to make it into the first team. In their 28-man Club World Cup selection, only one loanee progressed into Enzo Maresca squad from last season, midfielder Andrey Santos. The rest, Raheem Sterling, Axel Disasi, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Djordje Petrovic, Armando Broja, Joao Felix, Renato Veiga, Ben Chilwell, Carney Chukwuemeka, Lesley Ugochukwu and more - are mostly available for sale. The asking price for Kepa is known to be only £5m as he enters the last year of his contract, while Benfica are being credited with serious interest to re-sign Felix. In Sterling's case, the winger made 12 starts on loan at North London club Arsenal last season while the Blues paid around half of his current £300,000-a-week loanees like Alfie Gilchrist, Alex Matos, Leo Castledine and Zak Sturge are also exploring permanent transfers away from Stamford Bridge. Defender Sturge, 20, is in advanced talks about making his loan move at Millwall permanent at the end of the season. Chelsea prefer sales rather than loan moves at this stage but could relax their position later in the transfer window if they struggle to find exits for players. Midfielders Kendry Paez and Mathis Amougou are expected to join Strasbourg on loan while goalkeeper Teddy Sharman-Lowe is in talks over a new contract and potentially joining League One club Bolton Wanderers on loan.

Furious Lorraine viewers 'turn off' and swipe 'her days are numbered' after catty remark about Love Islanders' looks and 'cringe' debate
Furious Lorraine viewers 'turned off' and swiped 'her days are numbered' after a catty remark about Love Islanders' looks on Thursday's episode of the ITV show. The 65-year-old returned to our screens for another instalment of the popular early morning programme. Lorraine was joined by Lucie Cave and influencer Emily Clarkson during the show to talk about a segment on the dangers online beauty filters - and they got chatting about ITV2's Love Island. The broadcaster pointed out: 'I'm interested in programmes like Love Island... 'They to me, I have to say I don't watch it necessarily, but I see clips, it's inevitable to see clips. 'They all look the exactly the blinkin' same! From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'I'm like why do you all want to look the same, why do you all want to have that same sort of look about you? 'Children, I mean they are in their 20s, and they're having work done. 'It's heart breaking. It's crazy.' Love Island returned to our screens on Monday for its 12th series, with Maya Jama, 29, as host. The revived series of the show premiered in 2015 and has gone on to become a fan favourite every summer. During Thursday's instalment of Lorraine, some took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their thoughts on the episode. After a chat with rapper AJ Tracey, 31, one said: 'Lorraine is so cringey had to turn it off #lorraine.' Another chimed in: 'This interview is just [vomit emoji] get rid of her ffs!' While others said: 'Two voices on #Lorraine that hurt my ears.' '# lorraine Kelly 's days are numbered total fraudster.' It comes after Lorraine fought back the tears as a guest interrupted their interview to pay an emotional tribute to her as a 'friend and ally' on Tuesday's episode of the show. Author Paris Lees, 38, appeared on the ITV programme to chat to the Scottish star, 65, about her new BBC show What It Feels Like For A Girl, which is inspired by her own life. The eight-part series hit our screens on June 3 2025. During her appearance on Lorraine, the pair opened up about how proud she is of the show, but also wanted to thank the broadcaster for all her support towards the transgender community. Paris, who is a trans woman, said to Lorraine: 'We see you and we really appreciate it, you really use your platform for good.' An emotional Lorraine replied: 'You're going to make me cry.' Paris told her: 'Honestly, not everyone is there speaking up for us. We're less than 0.5 percent of the population and we are under attack. 'You are using your platform for good and you are a friend. 'I should have brought some flowers or something. I hereby declare you an honorary diva.' As she wiped a tear from her cheek, Lorraine said: 'I'll take that!' 'We thank you, we thank you,' Paris said. Earlier on in the chat, Paris said: 'This is such a full circle moment for me, because you were so kind about the book last time I was on. 'I know you were saying it's got to be a TV show and now it is a TV show!' Lorraine told her: 'We manifested it, Paris!' Earlier on the chat, Paris said: 'This is such a full circle moment for me, because you were so kind about the book last time I was on. I know you were saying it's got to be a TV show and now it is a TV show!' She continued: 'After I came on your show, did other publicity... 'It sounds like a humble brag, but I did have all these production companies get in contact with me. 'I just thought I'm ready to collapse in a heap, I've done all the photos and everything. 'And then They said do you want to develop it? 'I thought well it's my story, so I'd never done it before, very different type of writing, lots more people giving opinions. 'I'd never written a script before, I'd never had any aspirations or pretentions for writing for television. 'This is my story, I really wanted to rise to the challenge and do it justice. 'Can I tell you Lorraine, it's been so fun.' Her memoir What It Feels Like For A Girl was released in 2021. Earlier this week Lorraine was left squirming after a co-star bluntly asked her 'where have you been? ' After talking about the headlines over in the US, celebrity correspondent for LA Ross King asked her on Monday: 'Apart from all that, what about you, where have you been?!' Lorraine replied: 'Oh I've been in the far north, I've been so far north I nearly came back on myself. I'll tell you all about it. I sadly can't say too much about it now.' It comes after earlier this month Lorraine disappeared from our screens again after ditching her show amid huge cuts. Lorraine airs weekdays from 9am on ITV1 and is available to stream on ITVX.

I hid in a bush to get bikini shots of pregnant Diana – it's the photo I regret most says The Sun's royal photographer
GLANCING across the polo pitch, Arthur Edwards' eyes land on the golden 'D' hanging around the young woman's neck. He approaches the shy young girl and after asking politely she agrees to pose for a photo, an image that would later go down in history. 11 11 It was the Sun's royal photographer's very first photograph of Lady Diana Spencer, then 19. But rather than hitting the front page, the iconic portrait spent weeks in a drawer. 'Although I was told by royal equerries that Lady Diana Spencer was Prince Charles' new girlfriend, I had a hard time believing it,' Arthur says. 'He was 32 at the time and I remember thinking 'he's not running around with teenagers.'' However, six weeks later and by pure coincidence Arthur had their relationship confirmed. FURIOUS PRINCE Speaking as part of Life Stories, The Sun's YouTube series that features ordinary people who have had extraordinary lives, he explains: 'I was driving along the River Dee up in Balmoral to the Braemar Games and I saw Prince Charles fishing and next to him was Diana Spencer. 'So I jumped out of the car, grabbed the camera and rushed to snap a picture. 'She saw me, she rushed through the bushes. I managed to get a picture of him running up through the woods. 'Prince Charles was angry, god was he angry. He threw the fishing rod down and stormed off. 'The following day we ran the photo I had taken of Diana at the polo on the front page and underneath the headline was 'Lady Diana Spencer, all the qualities to be Queen.'' I was Diana's bodyguard - I know what she would have told Harry before he left & witnessed William's hate for fame It was a career defining moment for Arthur who in half a century on The Sun, Arthur has travelled to 120 countries, taking photos of not just the Royal Family but many of the world's biggest names. But unlike many paps the lorry driver's son, who left school at 15, was as much a hit with his subjects as he was with his editors. Diana once described him as her favourite royal photographer and he was among those who regularly joined Prince Harry for a drink following a royal tour. And last month he was congratulated by Queen Camilla personally when he picked up a Lifetime Achievement gong. Arthur, 84, says that the secret to getting his subjects on side has always been to 'ask nicely.' He explains: 'Most people are nice and if you're pleasant you'll get a similar reception back is what I have always found. 'One of the most iconic photographs I took of Diana in the see-through skirt in 1980 was taken because I travelled to the nursery she was working at and asked her nicely. 'I always say, you get more with sugar than you do with vinegar.' 11 11 11 11 However, Arthur is the first to admit that niceties weren't always part of his nature and that while starting out he took an 'aggressive approach.' 'AGGRESSIVE APPROACH' 'When I started doing the job, I wasn't bothered one way about the Royal Family,' he explains. 'The thing about the newspaper business is you can't come back empty handed, editors don't want excuses, they want pictures. 'So I was aggressive and some of the things I did then I'd be ashamed of today.' Arthur says there is one incident that he particularly regrets from his early career. 'I went to the Bahamas in 1982 while Diana was pregnant with William and photographed her in a bikini on the beach with Charles,' he says. 'There would be uproar over that now. 'It was probably one of the things I regret because they didn't see me as I was hiding in the bushes. 'I got great pictures of course but I got a lot of stick for it. 'The only person who was pleased with the photos was my editor, even the office driver was disgusted with what I had done.' Our royal photographer, who still works full-time at 84, was presented with the first Lifetime Achievement gong at the British Press Awards in May. Arthur, who joined The Sun in December 1974, received it as the biggest names in journalism gathered to salute the best in the business. And Queen Camilla sent a congratulatory message on behalf of King Charles and herself. She said: 'I cannot think of anyone who deserves it more. "Not just for your decades of hard graft and talent, but in recognition of the enduring respect, admiration and affection that I know is felt for you across your whole industry — and indeed across the Royal Household. "For more years than either of us care to remember, you have brought your trademark charm, humour and outstanding skill to countless events.' However, Arthur says that Diana was able to have the last laugh when she eventually confronted him about the photographs on the royal couple's Australian tour the following year. 'During the tour Diana asked me how much I was paid for the pictures and I said, 'nothing, ma'am. I said, I just got expenses like I was doing a court case in Bradford',' he says. 'She smiled and said, 'pass me the Kleenex.' 'She wasn't offended, so I felt a lot better about it after that.' It wasn't just Diana who saw the funny side of some of Arthur's more controversial photos. 'I remember one occasion when I was photographing a young Charles leaving a polo match in the late 70s. I caught the back of his head which showed his bald spot,' Arthur says. While I was no superfan of the monarchy when I started out, as I spent more time with Charles I realised he was something very special Arthur Edwards 'The following Wednesday, I'm at another polo match at Windsor and his security told me that Charles wanted a word with me. 'He asked me if I was the man who had taken the photo and then asked me how many people had seen it. 'When I told him the paper readership was around seven or eight million he said 'oh my God, that's why everyone is taking a photo of the back of my head wherever I go!'' That was Arthur's first conversation with the now King, and the pair have gone on to have many more since with the photographer one of the monarch's greatest champions. KING'S CHAMPION 'While I was no superfan of the monarchy when I started out, as I spent more time with Charles I realised he was something very special,' Arthur says. 'Over the years I have observed him truly throw himself into his environmental and charity work with real passion. 'And so when he faced criticism from a government minister and Mr Murdoch asked me to write an opinion piece on our then future monarch I gladly did it. 11 11 'I highlighted all the good he did and he must have seen it because our relationship changed over time. 'I became a tremendous supporter of him from that onwards and ultimately so did the paper. 'He was no longer the playboy prince who was ridiculed for talking to his plants but a real champion of the nation and one of the reasons I am still working today at 84.' Sadly, the same can not be said for the King's youngest son. HARRY'S CRUELTY Once one of Prince Harry's biggest supporters, Arthur says that he has been astonished by his 'cruelty.' 'When it comes to a reconciliation I never say never but I think the problem is the damage has been done,' Arthur says. 'While the Oprah interview might have been Meghan's doing, the tell-all Spare book was all Harry and that was pretty damn cruel. 'He mentioned that he wanted a reconciliation in his recent interview with the BBC but what he should have been saying was 'sorry.'' While he might think of himself as the 'Spare', Arthur says that his own experience proved that he was anything but. 'I think it's such a shame Harry calls himself that as he was far more than a 'spare', he was a vital part of the royal family,' Arthur explains. I think it's such a shame Harry calls himself that as he was far more than a 'spare', he was a vital part of the royal family Arthur Edwards 'He was by far as our readers were concerned, I thought he was their most popular member of the royal family. 'He was a super guy to work with and I loved working with him. 'At the end of every trip we would all go to the pub and they would close the bar for Harry and then we'd have an hour and a half where we'd chat. 'He would be candid too, Harry always told you when he didn't like a picture 'I remember him once telling me that he would do everything in his power to help us out, and he really did. 'Now it's hard to sort of say anything nice about him but in my heart, I hope one day, somehow he can come back and work for the country.' Meanwhile Arthur, who has worked for The Sun for over 50 years, plans to continue serving his own role for as long as he can. He adds: 'My job is a way of life and it's been a way of life for 50 years. 'I've enjoyed every bit of it and I plan to carry on as long as that's still the case. 'As Piers Morgan once said, 'treat every day as your last because one day you'll be right'.' 11
