David Beckham marked Father’s Day on Sunday with a string of family photos taken through the years.
Amongst the images, the former England captain, 50, uploaded the sweetest throwback picture of himself posing outdoors with his daughter Harper and two of the Beckham clan’s beloved pet Spaniels.
While Harper shares a close resemblance to her mother Victoria, the youngster looked every inch her father’s double in the photo, rocking a forest green waxed jacket which she teamed with a smart tweed flat cap and a pair of sturdy green wellies.

This isn’t the first time Harper has emulated her father’s style. Back in 2021, the pair were seen rocking matching Barbour looks as they teamed up to plant a cluster of new trees.

David’s passion for the countryside
Although the Beckham family primarily reside in their stunning west London home, they also spend a large portion of their time at their rambling Cotswolds abode.

As a keen gardener, David has transformed the outdoor space, adding raised vegetable gardens, a swimming pool, bee hives, a chicken coop and a glass greenhouse.

The couple won approval to create a 4,170 square metres lake with an island in the middle within the grounds of their Cotswolds home, on the condition that they planted hedgerows and trees to protect native birds and used special lights to help bats.
Construction for the striking water feature eventually went ahead in late 2020 and early 2021.

Meanwhile, during an appearance on Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop podcast, Victoria said of their rural home: “It’s so nice, we go between London and try to go there at the weekends as much as we can.”
