'You were missed': David Beckham's message to son Brooklyn as he's absent from another family event

Amid the many lavish celebrations for his 50th birthday, David Beckham pared things back planning a quiet birthday getaway with his sons.

Last week, David was joined by his sons Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20, for a fishing and camping trip in the Scottish Highlands but his eldest son, Brooklyn, didn’t make it.

It appears Brooklyn’s absence was sorely felt with David sharing a heartfelt shoutout to his first-born as he gave his fans an insight into the trip.

The football icon shared a series of photos from the boys trip, which he explained had been planned six months prior, showing the boys enjoying a spot of fishing, camping and cooking.

“Six months ago I planned a trip with my boys at the start of last week to camp and fish for my 50th. Was so much fun,” he wrote alongside one of the images.

The trio spent time by the water catching scallops, crabs and blue lobster before cooking it up on an open flame.
