At the age of almost 64, fatherhood has come late to Sir Elton John - but he is enjoying making up for lost time.
His delight in parental duties was evident as he and partner David Furnish enjoyed their first beach holiday with eight-week-old Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John.
The couple are in Hawaii, where the legendary performer will play two concerts this week.
Sir Elton, who will be called Daddy, and 48-year-old Furnish, who will be called Papa, became parents through a surrogate mother on Christmas Day
Last week Sir Elton, who is worth £185million, told how he wants Zachary to have ‘a solid old-fashioned childhood’.
