Sibling day out

Romeo and Harper spent a fun day out at Reading Festival over the weekend to support their brother Cruz, 21, and his band The Breakers as they made their festival debut. 

The brother and sister were spotted watching Cruz's set from the crowd while their parents, David and Victoria, looked on proudly from the side stage. At one point during the set, Cruz dedicated a song to his little sister.
