David Beckham was delighted on Monday after announcing some very exciting news from Miami, Florida. The retired footballer revealed that he has been officially awarded his long-planned Major League Soccer team, which was accepted by commissioner Don Garber. David announced the news at a press conference, saying that it had been "a hell of a journey." "I'm excited to bring this great team to this great city - it has been a hell of a journey," the 42-year-old said. "I promise you the team we will bring into the league will be the best team."

The former Manchester United footballer had previously posted a cryptic Instagram post ahead of the announcement, which read: "Today is the day we've been waiting for! Visit the link in my bio at noon EST to view the announcement live #FútbolMiamiMLS." David's 18-year-old son Brooklyn has joined his dad in Miami, and watched from the audience at the press conference at Adrienne Arsht Center for Performing Arts. Earlier in the day, David and his oldest son enjoyed a post-celebration trip to the beach, with Brooklyn sharing a photo of the pair on Instagram Stories.

In a picture shared on the fashion designer's Instagram account, followers can see her pretty pink nails with the caption: "Nails with mummy x." Another image showed Harper's beautiful long, wavy hair from the back as the sweet girl holds her mum's eye-shadow compact. Victoria wrote: "Playing make up with mummy."
