Madonna shared an adorable throwback photo of her with her adopted son David Banda as she wished him a happy 12th birthday.

The sweet image posted on Instagram shows the Queen of Pop, 59, carrying David on her back when he was a baby.

She wrote: β€œHappy Birthday to My Beautiful baby Boy!! David Banda!! I wish I could still carry you Bapu Style!”

Another photograph shows David, who Madonna adopted from Malawi in 2006, a few years later.

The singer wrote: β€œAnd Now He is 12!! Where does the time go??? We Love You Malawi!”

Madonna also shared a video of David travelling in a car and singing along to her 1983 hit Holiday.

β€œGo David!! Its your birthday!!! We Gonna Party! Like its your birthday!! Its Time to Celebrate!” she wrote.
