David and Victoria's shared social media post was captioned: "Creating special memories with family and friends. We love you all. @romeobeckham @cruzbeckham #HarperSeven xx."

Photos showed the sports star and his sons wearing tuxedos and Victoria and their daughter Harper wearing long blue gowns to the function.

A further image showed David and Victoria kissing across a table filled with guests.

In another social media post David shared photos from across his career and wrote: "Looking back on some of my favourite football memories as I turn 50...

"I met my wife at a United game, found friends for life in the Academy & played for some of the best teams in the world.

"My children have come along on this special journey with me... and now a dream come true to be an owner with (US football team) Inter Miami. Feeling very lucky."

The former winger and Victoria, who married in 1999, are also seen as a power couple and starred in the Netflix documentary Beckham together - which included a viral scene of the Spice Girl discussing class.

David's footballing career included the treble-winning campaign of 1998-99, when Manchester United won the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League, and he earned 115 England caps, the third most of all time for the men's team.
