Baby Zachary accompanied his parents, Elton John and David Furnish, to Italy yesterday, where they’re attending the world-famous contemporary art exhibition, Venice Biennale.

The smile on Sir Elton’s face may have had something to do with his and David’s nomination for Celebrity Dad of the Year. They are the first gay couple to ever be shortlisted. Since baby Zach’s birth Elton and David have been doting dads.

Elton and David have some tough competition though, with their friend David Beckham also nominated, along with last year’s winner Peter Andre, new X Factor judge Gary Barlow, footballer Wayne Rooney and TV presenter Jonathon Ross.

Who do you think should snap up the Celeb Dad of the Year crown?
