Brooklyn Beckham has shared a heartfelt tribute to his godfather Sir Elton John and his husband David Furnish after attending their annual Oscars viewing party in West Hollywood.
The 27-year-old posted black and white photographs of himself with wife Nicola Peltz on Instagram, writing: "What a special night for a very important cause. Thank you so much @eltonjohn and @davidfurnish. I love you both so much @ejaf."
The public display of affection towards the legendary singer comes amid Brooklyn's ongoing estrangement from his parents David and Victoria Beckham.

"Thank you for having us @eltonjohn and @davidfurnish we love you both so much."
The tribute to Sir Elton arrived just days after Brooklyn pointedly ignored his own mother on Mother's Day whilst lavishing praise on his mother-in-law.
To mark Claudia Heffner Peltz's 71st birthday, Brooklyn shared images of himself with Claudia and Nicola on social media, captioning them: "Happy birthday to the best mother-in-law. Love u so much and hope u had the most amazing day."
Victoria Beckham received no such acknowledgement from her eldest son.
The Mother's Day snub represents the latest chapter in a family rift that has been escalating for months.
Brooklyn previously published a six-page statement on Instagram earlier this year, claiming he had no wish to reconcile with his parents, accusing David and Victoria of attempting to control him and undermine his marriage.
He has also missed significant family occasions, including his father's 50th birthday celebrations.
Sir Elton has been attempting to act as mediator between Brooklyn and his estranged parents over recent months.
