DAVID Beckham launched his 50th birthday celebrations early and in style with a Posh family do at his £10million Cotswolds estate.
The football icon reaches the milestone age on Friday, but hosted a black-tie gathering last night with wife Victoria, 51, their family and close friends.

The elegant affair saw Becks and his guests donning tuxedos and ballgowns, sipping cocktails, and going for a midnight swim fully dressed.
David’s Porsche Penske from the IndyCar Series was seen parked up outside at the swanky soirée.
As the night progressed things took a wild turn with some attendees jumping in David and Victoria’s pond, tuxedos and all.
The superstar couple’s youngest son Cruz, 20, shared a glimpse of the night on social media, posting a sweet photo with his girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 29.

They coordinated their looks with budding rock star Cruz in a classic tux and standout red braces, and Jackie in a striking red satin gown.
Victoria’s sister, Louise Adams, also gave followers a peek into the family festivities.
She posted photos with three of her four kids – Liberty, Tallulah, and Finlay.
Louise wore a £990 black draped gown from Victoria’s collection and looked radiant as she posed with her cocktail in hand and her sharply dressed son Finlay.
Finlay added his own light-hearted touch to the night by sharing a video of himself emerging from the pond, paddle in hand, laughing alongside friends.
David and Victoria’s other children, Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 22, and Harper, 13 have not yet posted from the event but are believed to have been there.
Meanwhile, Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, were spotted earlier in the week enjoying time together in London, fuelling excitement over a full family reunion.
Photographer friend Dan Martensen shared a photo of the couple kissing at Soho’s Mountain Restaurant, writing in the caption: “These 2,” with a heart and swan emoji.
The following day Nicola shared a stylish video from the backseat of a car in London, wearing all-black and sipping iced coffee.
She also posted a photo of Union Jack flags in Regent Street, announcing her return to the UK.
David is expected to continue the birthday celebrations on Friday, May 2, with a more intimate dinner party at Core by Clare Smyth.
The Sun revealed chefs at the three Michelin-starred restaurant in London have spent weeks crafting a special menu for the occasion.
The source added that while Beckham recently held a larger celebration in Miami, his actual birthday dinner is meant to be a more personal gathering, with invites going out to close pals including Hollywood actor Tom Cruise and David’s Class of ‘92 teammates on the guest list.
Brooklyn’s attendance at the upcoming London dinner appears to mark the end of speculation around a rift with his mum and dad – which dad David has plans to mend.
A source said: “David is going all out for his 50th – and while a dinner party seems understated it is going to be a bash to remember.
“He absolutely loves Core and has hired out the restaurant.
“Clare, who is the chef and owner of Core, has spent over a month refining a tailor made menu for David and his guests.
“Brooklyn and Nicola are on the list, as well as Romeo, Cruz and Harper, and his and Victoria’s parents – it’s a proper family affair.
“Tom, who is a close friend of David’s, has also made the cut, along with his famous mates who live in London.
“David threw a big party in Miami for his American friends but on his actual birthday, Friday May 2, he wants a more intimate celebration.
“There will be speeches and lots of champagne flowing, as well as David’s Haig Club whisky.”
Brookyln and Nicola, based in Los Angeles, skipped David’s Miami party and the family’s Easter celebrations.
Nicola previously told Cosmopolitan about their decision to settle in LA: “We did have a house in LA at one point, but we sold it because we were like, ‘Oh, we’re going to go to Florida for a while’.
“And then we’re like, ‘No, just kidding, we have to be in LA for work.’ It was so silly of us.
“But we both honestly love New York so much. If our work was there, we’d be there in five seconds.”
