Surprises might not be everyone's cup of tea, but David Beckham's reaction to his birthday surprise is the sweetest thing on the internet today.

The former footballer was just having a casual birthday dinner when his eldest son Brooklyn rocked up out of the blue to surprise him.

Victoria Beckham, who was in on the surprise, filmed Brooklyn walking through the door of a restaurant as David was eating.

"David," Victoria said in an effort to draw his attention to the person who'd just entered the room.

Brooklyn hugged his visibly stunned dad, who kept saying: "What are you doing here?"

"Happy birthday. I just landed," Brooklyn said as the pair shared a long hug.

"I didn't know you were coming," David said.

Harper chipped in at one point to say: "I didn't know Brooklyn was coming."

"I missed you so much," Brooklyn said.

Awwwwwww.
