Sir Elton John's husband David Furnish has delighted fans by sharing some rare photographs of their two sons Zachary, 12, and Elijah, nine, on holiday in the Whitsundays, Australia.
The Rocket Man singer and his spouse made the most of a gap in the schedule for his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour to treat their boys to the holiday of a lifetime at the InterContinental Hayman Island. David uploaded a number of lovely memories from their stay, including a sweet snap of himself scuba diving with the youngsters.

The trip was all the more special as Zachary turned 12 on Christmas Day.
Elton and David – who have been together since 1993 – welcomed the two boys via the same surrogate.
While the youngster have been kept out of the spotlight by their parents, they made their showbiz debut at the Elton John Aids Foundation Oscars Viewing party last year, where they were welcomed on stage by David and their godmother, Lady Gaga.

"They heard us talking - we had planned for Elton to be off the road in February but then they moved the Oscars to March, and fans had been holding on to tickets for 700+ days and we knew we couldn't keep moving shows," David said.
"So the boys said, 'we will help you.' I am really proud of them."
