ROMEO Beckham delivered a touching speech at his dad David’s 50th birthday party – after older brother Brooklyn’s devastating snub.
The Beckham clan celebrated the former England star’s milestone birthday with a glamorous bash at Core Restaurant in London’s Kensington area on Saturday night.

A-list guests included Tom Cruise, Guy Ritchie and Gordon Ramsay as well as David’s football pals including best friend Gary Neville.
While the family pulled out all the stops for the occasion, the absence of David and Victoria’s eldest son threatened to cast a shadow over the whole thing.
Brooklyn, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz failed to attend the swanky bash, with The Sun revealing it had left David ‘heartbroken’.
In fact, The Sun also revealed that the influencer did not even call his dad amid a growing family feud.

It means that when it came time to pay tribute to their father, it fell to middle son Romeo, 22, to do the honours in his elder brother’s place.
The Mirror reports Romeo started his speech – which involved a number of cue cards by saying: “Good evening everyone. I would like to start by thanking you all for being here tonight.
“I know without many of you in here tonight he wouldn’t be half of the man he is today. But to the man of the moment…”
He then proceeded to talk at length about his father, who had a glittering career at football clubs including Manchester United and Real Madrid, as well as 58 caps and 115 appearances for England.
While the party was in full swing, Brooklyn’s wife Nicola, 30, shared an emotional post on her Instagram, paying tribute to her late grandmothers.
Brooklyn liked his wife’s post, but has yet to post any kind of tribute to his father to mark his 50th birthday.
Meanwhile party guests were seen leaving the bash looking bleary eyed in the early hours of Sunday morning.
And late Sunday afternoon – no doubt after some much needed rest and relaxation following the festivities – Victoria, 51, shared a series of glamorous snaps from the birthday celebrations earlier in the week.
They included pictures from a family gathering with everyone suited and booted, as well as David enjoying a meal and glass of wine with a stunning view of the Eiffel Tower in Paris behind him.
She captioned it: “Creating special memories with family and friends. We love you all [love heart emoji] @romeobeckham @cruzbeckham #HarperSeven xx.”
