DAVID Beckham, 50, has shared a heartfelt post to his four children, as fellow dads around the country celebrate Father's Day.

Sharing a collection of photos of his children and his own dad, Ted with his 81 million followers, he included a passionate message.
He wrote: "My most important & favourite job in life is being a dad... I'm so proud of all of you and like daddy ( sorry boys ) tells you every single day I will always be here for you no matter what..."
He continued: "Mummy thank you for doing the most important part and making me a father there is no greater gift in life than making me a dad...
"Happy Father's Day. I love you kiddies more than you could imagine."
He also tagged Victoria, his dad and four kids – Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper Seven.
The post was quickly inundated with messages of support, which included comments from Romeo and Cruz.
Romeo replied: "Love you always 🤍🤍🤍🤍". And Cruz added: "You mean the world to us and inspire us every single day dad I love you."
David's mum Sandra also replied, writing: "You are one special dad ❤️ and that makes me soso proud 🥰 x"
Noticeably missing from the comments underneath was eldest son Brooklyn, who as yet is still to make a public post to his dad.
It's been an emotional few days for David as it was revealed on Friday that he set to become Sir David.
The 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 source 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."

Love Island fans slam Meg for ‘trying to be iconic' as she furiously confronts rival and villa descends into chaos
LOVE Island fans have slammed Meg for 'trying to be iconic'. Fans were quick to fume over Meg's behaviour as she furiously confronted her rival and the villa descended into chaos. 5 5 5 5 After the girls watched on as three new bombshells went on dates with the OG villa hunks, things erupted between the Islanders. Meg was unimpressed when she saw her man Dejon go on a date with Malisha, with the two coming face-to-face when they arrived back in the villa. The air was then cleared during the day before things went south again in the evening. As Dejon chatted to Malisha in the evening, Meg stood up to see what the pair were talking about. Meg sneaked into the villa and started listening to Tommy's conversation through the door. Dejon and Malisha were flirting, with the bombshell revealing he was her favourite. Meg then walked onto the terrace and said "Hello, am I missing something special?". Malisha then departed the terrace and Meg sat down with the hunk, who said his head was "scrambled". He explained how he didn't like how Meg had said he "disrespected, violated and embarrassed" her. Meg then said that everyone saw a "different side" to him. Love Island girl brutally rips into villa hunk after he flirts with new girl on 'secret' date After Meg and Dejon made up, they were cuddled up on the sunbeds together and were seemingly smitten once again. Malisha then walked over and asked Meg if she wanted to go for a chat. Meg then said she wanted to "clear some stuff up" with Malisha. She then told her that it was "disrespectful" that Malisha said she wanted to take Dejon to the hideaway before taking him to the terrace.

Sunday night's episode then ended with most of the girls looking annoyed with Malisha. But fans seemed to be more on Malisha's side when they took to X to slam Meg's behaviour. "Meg is trying extremely hard to be iconic, you look dumb," said one. A second then said: "Meg is trying to act like she's that bitch but she really really is not." While a third penned: "Meg needs to seek help, she's giving mean girl energy." And a fourth said: "Meg is giving mean girl vibes big time." 5

Sam Thompson makes surprise Soccer Aid appearance as he comes on as a sub just days after pulling out with injury
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SOCCER Aid fans were treated to a surprise Sam Thompson appearance - as he came on as a sub just days after pulling out. The Sun revealed Sam, 32, had been ruled out of playing due to injuries sustained in his epic marathon challenge.

Despite this, the former Made in Chelsea star ultimately did join his teammates on the pitch. It meant he played in the same England side as One Direction star Louis Tomlinson, 33, who is now dating Sam's ex Zara McDermott. The couple split in December, with Zara moving on with Louis. Sam and Louis were pictured training this week at Soccer Aid HQ in Tring, Herts, where the England and Rest of the World teams are preparing for the match. In the end, World XI ultimately claimed the win courtesy of a goal from Big Zuu. Regarding Sam's initial exit, a source said previously: 'Sam is gutted he can't play, but the match has just come too soon since his efforts. 'He's still going to be a presence and play a big part in the coverage but he won't be able to compete on the field.' The source added: 'There is a small blessing in his withdrawal as the focus on him and Louis will disperse. 'Their every move will be watched so it's a relief in some ways they won't be on the pitch together.' Sam Thompson breaks silence on injury that forced him out of Soccer Aid and says he had to be 'carried' to physio room Jill Scott captained the England team, with other stars such as Mo Farah, Alex Brooker and Tom Grennan also taking part. Elsewhere, Paddy McGuinness was left starstruck at the event when he shared a selfie with a Hollywood legend. The presenter - who played in goal for England's team- posed for a picture with Julia Roberts. Paddy captioned: "Just chilling with Jules. @juliaroberts @socceraid #legend #icon." A follower commented: "As you do. She's just a girl sat in front of a boy", referencing Julia's role in Notting Hill." Another wrote: "This photo makes me ridiculously happy! Absolute stars!" A third shared: "You are a lucky lucky man." While a fourth wrote: "Can't believe she's there."
