Romeo Beckham stepped up in older brother Brooklyn’s absence as he delivered a speech at his dad David’s 50th birthday over the weekend. 

The football legend marked the milestone in style with three parties including one very lavish dinner at Core restaurant in London’s Notting Hill on Saturday night.

David and wife Victoria were joined by three of their children, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and 13-year-old Harper – however their eldest, Brooklyn, 25, and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, were absent from all of the events.

And in Brooklyn’s absence Romeo, as the second oldest child, made sure to make his dad’s birthday special and delivered the speech to the Manchester United stars closest friends and family.

Romeo could be seen clutching several cue cards in his hand as he arrived at the London venue on Saturday and was also seen holding a key role at Wednesday night’s bash, held at the Beckham family’s Cotswolds home, with a snap showing him proudly carrying candlelit cupcakes to the table. 

Romeo reportedly told guests: ‘Good evening everyone. I would like to start by thanking you all for being here tonight. I know without many of you in here tonight he wouldn’t be half of the man he is today. But to the man of the moment…’

According to The Mirror, Romeo is understood to have praised his dad at length, who earlier this week he described as ‘the most amazing role model’ on his social media.

Romeo also stepped up at David’s pre-birthday celebrations in Miami last month as he was pictured giving another speech. 

It has been reported that he knew Brooklyn was unlikely to attended their dad’s London party and so had planned a speech. 

Despite Brooklyn and Nicola being invite to the celebrations and both being in the UK they decided to skip the bash. 

Victoria shared a slew of snaps from the party and tagged each of her three youngest children in the caption of the social media photo album, she skipped Brooklyn despite usually writing something along the lines of ‘missing you @brooklynbeckham’ on previous occasions.

David reposted many of his wife’s photos, and, perhaps tellingly, wrote in one caption: ‘I love you all, thank you for making my birthday so memorable,’ also failing to mention his eldest son.

Gushing over the almost week-long celebration, Victoria told her followers she has been ‘creating special memories with family and friends’.

The week kicked off with an intimate dinner at their Cotswolds pile on Wednesday evening, where they dined with close family and partners.

A glimpse at the night shows the Beckham clan dressed up in their finery to honour the big day, with dashing David sporting a sharp black tuxedo.

Fashion designer Victoria wore one of her own brand dresses, a strappy silk navy slip dress that touched the floor as she posed beside her beloved husband.

The couple, who have been married since 1999, posed for one photo perched on the bonnet of a vintage 1972 Fiat 500.

The car may have been an early birthday present for the footballing legend, who previously drove around Italy with his sons in one of the cars last year. 

It was revealed exclusively by Mail+ this weekend that Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, had skipped all of the events hosted by the family, leaving his parents heartbroken over the decision. 

The attending members of the family gathered together from some seriously stylish snaps in the grounds of their £12million manor.

Harper wore a similar dress to her mother, while her two brothers mimicked David in sharp suits for the swanky occasion.

David’s mother and father, Sandra and Ted, joined the family for another group snap against the stunning backdrop of the countryside evening.

A rare snap from inside the incredible home showed the family sat down around a huge dinner table together, with David and Victoria leaning over to share a kiss.

David turned 50 on May 2 and the family marked the milestone with a luxury trip to the French capital as they flew off in their £40million private jet.

Posting more snaps of the second celebration, Victoria revealed that she and David joined by sons Romeo and Cruz and daughter Harper.

Romeo and Cruz’s girlfriends Kim Turnbull and Jackie Apostel also joined however Brooklyn and his wife Nicola were again not seen.

The family flew out of Oxford on Friday for a wine-soaked stop in Bordeaux, before heading to Paris for a swanky dinner to toast the big 50.

During the trip, David indulged in a bottle of Petrus wine, which costs an eye-watering £3,000 per bottle. 

Victoria posted a sweet video of David beaming as his family sung him happy birthday as he received a cake in a French restaurant.
