Footballer David Beckham has flown home from the United States to be with his father, who is seriously ill in hospital.
The former England captain arrived at Heathrow at lunchtime after boarding a flight in Los Angeles on Wednesday night.
Ted Beckham, 59, was rushed to Whipps Cross Hospital, in Leytonstone, east London, after suffering a heart attack.
He was then transferred to the London Chest Hospital where he is said to be in a stable condition after surgery.
Mr Beckham was taken by ambulance to hospital from his home in Chingford, east London, after complaining of chest pains.
He added: "Victoria is in Japan working but obviously she has been informed of it and she is concerned."
Midfield star Beckham moved to the US in the summer after signing for LA Galaxy.
In 2005, his father, a gas fitter, published a book called David Beckham: My Son.
It reportedly led to a falling out but the pair have since patched up their differences.
Mr Beckham's first name is also David but he is known as Ted - short for Edward, his middle name.
Mr Beckham is divorced from David's mother, Sandra. The pair also had two daughters, Lynne and Joanne.
