Proud dad! David Beckham shares the CUTEST throwback of Brooklyn

Mar 4, 2016

The eldest Beckham, Brooklyn, turns the ripe old age of 17 today, and to celebrate we've been treated to some seriously adorable throwback snaps by his proud parents.

David Beckham, who rarely goes more than a few days without sharing a sweet social media update about his kids, took to Instagram last night to wish his son a happy birthday.

"Seven years ago today this little man came into this world and changed our lives in so many ways," he wrote alongside an old black-and-white snap of himself and "Bust".

Too cute. "We were given the most precious gift that makes us smile and proud every time he walks through the door," the dad of four continued.

"Not so little anymore but look at the smile. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUST."

Brooklyn's mum Victoria dialed things back even further with her birthday post, a photo of her smiling "baby" with the caption, "Happy Birthday beautiful boy.We are so proud and love you so much."

And even Brooklyn himself got in on the throwback action, sharing yet another black-and-white childhood photo, before telling his 6.2m Instagram followers that he was excited for his "ifrst driving lesson."
