David Beckham and his dad arrived in LA together on Monday

The pair's appearance in LA comes just a few days before David celebrates his 40th birthday with an extravagant party in Marrakech, Morocco.The former footballer will be joined by a group of friends and family – likely to include Ted and his mum Sandra, who divorced in 2002 after 32 years of marriage – for a lavish celebration on Saturday at the Amanjena resort, just outside the Moroccan city.According to reports, guests will include Tom Cruise, Gordon Ramsay, Guy Ritchie, Liv Tyler and her partner Dave Gardner – who is David's best friend. The birthday boy is apparently flying all invitees out to the north African city himself, so they can join him for the landmark party.The five-star resort is thought to hold special meaning for David; it’s believed to be the location where he and Victoria renewed their wedding vows during a romantic break in 2004."He'll only turn 40 once so he wants to do it in style," a source told the Sun. "Morocco is a place close to his heart."
