David Beckham puts a protective arm around daughter Harper in Venice

They’re enjoying a ‘special’ holiday together in Venice and David Beckham showed the strength of his bond with daughter Harper on Sunday when they took a taxi boat ride together.  

David put a protective arm around his little girl, 10, as they took in the sights of the beautiful surroundings. 

Harper was sporting pigtails and David carried her novelty straw hat in hand, making sure it didn’t blow away – after he shared a video of his youngest pulling strings which made the characters ears go up and down. 

Father/daughter day out: David Beckham, 47, and daughter Harper, 10, took a taxi boat during ‘special’ bonding holiday in Venice on Sunday 

Sweet moment: David put a protective arm around his youngest child as they made memories together 

Every inch the doting dad, David kept a watchful eye on Harper as she stepped on board, giving her the best seat on the boat as she sat atop a comfortable looking cushion. 

He looked naturally dapper wearing a crisp blue shirt with the buttons open and the sleeves rolled up and a slick pair of brown trousers. 

The sportsman showed off his multiple inkings and wore designer sunglasses, carrying an enormous Hermes Birkin black leather bag in hand which would have set him back tens of thousands of pounds.

The trip so far, largely shared on David’s social media has seen the footballer and his daughter enjoying gondola rides, visiting the Fenice theatre and tucking into 9am gelatos.

David had captioned the early morning clip: ‘Ssssssshhhhhhh don’t tell mummy 9am Gelato. Sorry mummy @victoriabeckham. Creating special memories with #HarperSeven’.

There has been no sign of David’s other children – Brooklyn, 23, Romeo, 19, and Cruz, 17 – whom he shares with wife Victoria, 48, on the trip.
