  • Sir David Beckham has sent a message to his son Brooklyn, posting two throwback photos on Instagram to mark the 27-year-old’s birthday.
  • One photo shows Sir David and and his wife Lady Victoria holding baby Brooklyn in a pool, while the other is a black-and-white photo of Sir David with Brooklyn as a young boy.
  • "27 today. Happy Birthday Bust. We love you x" the caption read, using the couple’s nickname for their eldest child.
  • It comes after Brooklyn reportedly requested that his estranged parents did not interact with him, or tag him on social media, amid an ongoing family feud.
  • Brooklyn earlier alleged that his parents tried to “ruin” his relationship with his wife Nicola Peltz; he said that he had gone ‘no contact’ with them and had no wish to reconcile.
