David Beckham was reduced to tears after getting a surprise birthday present from his family.

The former footballer was dining out in London in celebration of turning 43 when his eldest son Brooklyn strode into the restaurant.

David grabbed his son, asking: “What are you doing here?”

Clearly pleased to see Brooklyn, David held onto his son as he wished him a happy birthday.

Brooklyn’s sister Harper was equally as shocked, saying: “I didn’t know Brooklyn was coming back.”

Victoria captured the tender moment and shared it with her 19.7 million followers alongside the caption: “The biggest surprise of the day.... Welcome home @brooklynbeckham X happy birthday @davidbeckham I love u so much x kisses.”

David later uploaded the same video, posting: “Best birthday surprise , my big boy coming home.”
