David and Victoria Beckham, who already have three sons, welcomed their first daughter into the world on Sunday morning, and have decided to name her Harper Seven Beckham.

The footballer wrote: "I am so proud and excited to announce the birth of our daughter Harper Seven Beckham. She weighed a healthy 7lbs 10oz and arrived at 7.55 this morning, here in LA.
"Victoria is doing really well and her brothers are delighted to have a baby sister xx".
The Seven in the name is believed to be a reference to David's football number when he played for Manchester United and England, while the Harper could be referring to Harper's Bazaar magazine or perhaps To Kill A Mockingbird author Harper Lee.
A close friend of the couple said: ''Harper is an old English name something Victoria has always liked. Seven is a very lucky happy number and the baby was born just after 7am, in the seventh month.''
The child was born by elected Caesarean, in the same way as her older children.
And a source told The Sun that David was so happy about the new arrival that he was literally crying with joy.
The insider said: "David has been crying with joy. They are all so happy."
