Sir Rod Stewart’s 80th birthday celebrations have come to an end after the musician gathered his huge family to celebrate in style with a luxury holiday in St Barts.
The singer took a no-cost holiday on a $150 million superyacht traveling the Caribbean with his wife Penny Lancaster, 53, and seven of his eight children.
And his son Alastair has shared a series of sweet family snaps as he gushed about the ‘unforgettable’ trip.
The whole gang posed for a smiling shot, before starting to make faces for a silly photo.
As the family messed around, Alastair wrote the message: “An unforgettable time, love you all.”
Last week, Rod, who reportedly rented the boat for $3 million, made the most of the sunny climate as he donned a fedora and bright yellow shirt and topped up his tan during the speedboat ride to shore.

The singer took a no-cost vacation on a $150 million superyacht traveling through the Caribbean with his wife Penny Lancaster and seven of his eight children.
Penny arrived at the beach in a sheer black lace dress and white T-shirt, but quickly took these off to show off her figure in a cheetah print swimsuit.
Ruby, who welcomed Rod in 1987 with his ex-girlfriend Kelly Emberg, donned a khaki bikini and a black hat and sunglasses. She is on holiday with her partner Jake Kalic.
During the beach day, Penny went swimming with her son Alastair, 19, Adam Sumner, the partner of Rod’s daughter Renee, 32.
Rod has eight children over the age of 47 by five different mothers.
The crooner and Penny married in 2007 and have sons Alastair and Aiden Patrick, 14.
Kimberly, 45, whose mother is Alana, shared photos from the lavish trip, including a photo of her daughter Delilah, 13, posing with Rod.
Her brother Sean, 44, is part of the group along with his girlfriend Julia Stambler.
Liam, 30, and his wife Nicole Artukovich, who is expecting their second child, are also on board.

Rod is also dad to daughter Sarah Streeter, 60, who he shares with ex-girlfriend Susannah Boffey. It looks like Sarah didn’t go on the trip with them.
It comes after Rod assured fans he’s ‘not done yet’ as he marked his 80th birthday on Instagram.
The iconic singer wrote a sweet post on his Instagram Stories thanking his “loyal and rowdy” supporters for their dedication throughout his 50-year career.
He wrote, “On my 80th birthday, may I take this opportunity to personally express my gratitude and gratitude to all my loyal and vocal fans around the world for helping to give me such a wonderful life!” .
“In return, I hope I’ve given you some memorable songs and lively concerts… I’m not done yet. Mr Rod’.
Meanwhile, Penny shared a tribute to her ‘darling’ alongside a photo of the sun-kissed Maggie May hitmaker.
“Congratulations my love, so blessed to share this day with all our children. Building even more memories to carry with us into the future and to stay close to our hearts forever, I love you’.

The luxury ship has a sizable crew, complete with three chefs “to meet everyone’s dietary needs and restrictions” as the famous family “hops around different islands” in the Caribbean.
“The holiday is costing Rod millions,” an insider told DailyMail.com. ‘He is known as a cheap skater, but not this time. He flew everyone first class to Florida and told them they don’t have to put their hands in their pockets for anything. He hides all their whims.
‘The reason behind the trip is because Rod feels it’s time to bring his family together for his big birthday. Over the years there have been fights between many of them. The singer wants everything to be harmonious from now on.’

Rod is no stranger to holidays with his brood, having spent days aboard a £274,000-a-week luxury yacht in Italy in the summer of 2022.
But insiders claim he wanted to ‘go big’ for his current festive adventure.
The Grammy Award winner chose the 288-foot ship with nine suites for guests, as well as a beauty salon, gym, hammam, swimming pool and helipad.
“This trip meant so much to Rod,” a second source added. “The whole family has come together and put any drama aside to have a real bonding experience.
“Being surrounded by so much love is priceless to Rod. For this one he wanted to go big.
“It couldn’t have gotten any bigger.”
