Their youngest child, 11-year-old daughter Harper also treated the pair to two gift bags as she praised them for being the ‘best mummy and daddy ever.’
Victoria and David, who are also parents to sons Brooklyn, 24, Romeo, 20 and Cruz, 18, tied the knot in Ireland in 1999 and have lived their life together in the spotlight.
Last year, they revealed naysayers were rife, with Victoria saying: ‘They say he isn’t funny, they say I never smile, they said it wouldn’t last… Today we celebrate 23 years being married. David you are my everything, I love you so much!”.
In 2017, Victoria wrote a letter to her 18-year-old self back for Vogue, offering marriage tips. She wrote: ‘In marriage: have patience. Bite your tongue. Be supportive. And preserve a bit of mystique. Never let yourself go completely.’

The Beckhams famously married in a spectacular ceremony, costing a reported £800,000 in which they both donned bold ensembles. Images from the big day featured in an OK! spread and front cover story.
Their marriage came when David had just won the treble with Manchester United and Victoria was a global icon with the Spice Girls.
Their highly-anticipated wedding ceremony, on July 4 was complete with golden thrones and a glittering tiara for the bride.
While no expense was spared for the nuptials — conducted by Bishop of Cork, Paul Colton — the day was also filled with touching, heartfelt moments, including four-month-old Brooklyn serving as the ring bearer.
The power couple hired Bentley’s Entertainments, organisers of Elton John’s birthday as well as Princess Anne’s 40th, to mastermind the highly-publicised showbiz event.
Their picturesque Irish venue sat on 560 acres and dated back to the 18th century, with organsier Peregrine Armstrong-Jones telling OK! how ‘Victoria wanted somewhere really private and unique, somewhere leafy and green’.
She had hired Simon Lycett, who worked on the 90s rom-com Four Weddings And A Funeral, to set up the floral arrangements – complete with fresh apples which had been pierced and dotted around the castle in order to discharge the scent of fruit.
With David rocking up in a £230,000 Bentley Azure wearing a cream suit designed by Timothy Everett, Victoria sported a Vera Wang dress as she rode in style in a Bentley Arnage.
She commanded attention in a diamond-and-gold crown, which was custom-built by Slim Barrett who had previously crafted accessories for Princess Diana.

Despite the nuptials being covered as part of the lucrative magazine deal, last year Victoria was adamant the wedding wasn’t as fancy as it appeared.
Speaking to The Business of Fashion as part of the BoF VOICES 2022 event, she said of her big day: ‘I think that the media glamorised the wedding much more than it actually was … [It was] actually much more intimate than it looked.’
She added: ‘I love to have fun. I work very very hard. I take what I do very seriously. I want to be a great wife, a really great mum, but I wanna have fun as well…
‘Sometimes my tongue-in-cheek sense of humour does tend to get me in trouble, but the wedding wasn’t as huge as everybody made it out [to be].’
