The inspirational youngster had chosen to support charities that hold a special place in his parents' heart. Victoria, 41, was named a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN's Aids campaign last year, choosing to take on the role after a trip to South Africa.

David, meanwhile, launched the "7: The David Beckham UNICEF Fund" earlier this year in February. The campaign aims to help the world's most vulnerable children.

At the time, the former England football captain said: "Everything I have done, my football career, my family, has led to this point – this is the moment for me to do what I can to help children in every corner of the world. This is something I want my own children to be proud of."
