Romeo Beckham celebrates 13th birthday as Wayne Rooney's England mascot

David Beckham's son Romeo was an England mascot at Wembley on Tuesday night and walked out onto the pitch alongside captain Wayne Rooney.

The 13-year-old beamed as he held hands with Rooney and marched out onto the hallowed north London turf prior to kick off as a birthday present.

Rooney needed just one goal to break Sir Bobby Charlton's all-time goalscoring record and shared a joke with Romeo moments before the national anthems were played.

Beckham Sr. watched on from the stands as his son stood alongside Roy Hodgson's side, who continued their unbeaten record in Euro 2016 qualifying with a 2-0 victory.

The occasion eventually proved to be a memorable one for both Romeo and Rooney, as the 29-year-old forward found the net late on and scored his 50th England goal.

Rooney was visibly emotional in the moments after he slotted home his penalty kick and it will undoubtedly take some time for his achievement to sink in.

Even if Romeo fails to follow in his father's footsteps and become a footballer he can claim to have been present for a piece of Three Lions history.

Beckham has four children; Brooklyn, Romeo Cruz and Harper of whom Romeo is the second oldest.
