Lily Collins shares her 'love and pride' for dad Phil with childhood snap on his 70th

Lily Collins has paid tribute to her rock legend dad Phil on the weekend of his 70th birthday.

She shared an adorable throwback photo to mark her father’s big day on Saturday with her near 23 million followers.

The Genesis star celebrated the milestone as he continues to put plans in place for the band's stage return.

He delighted fans last year by getting the group back together, with Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford announcing plans for their first tour together since 2007.

Turning the clock back herself, actress Lily, 31, shared a sweet photo of the pair of them when she was very little.

Her music star dad holding onto her tight as she smiled for the camera while wearing a big baseball cap, the little girl couldn't be happier in his arms.

She added a message saying they have a lot more fun to come.

She wrote: "Happy 70th birthday dad!! Words aren’t enough to express how much love and pride I have for you.

"After 7 decades on this planet, countless trips around the world, 5 kids, endless memories and a lifetime of stories... you’re not done yet!

"You mean so much to me and I can’t wait for all the adventures and years to come. I love you so much, to the moon and back again."

Phil celebrated his birthday with a family Zoom call.

His five children logged in from across the world to raise a glass to their dad.

There's no doubt Lily will have been grilled about wedding bells as rumours swirl that she has set a date.

The Emily In Paris star has been engaged to director Charlie, 37, since September 2020.

But the sound of wedding day bells will be ringing sooner rather than later, with Lily’s half-brother Simon recently spilling the beans.

According to the Daily Mail, Lily and Charlie have set the date for the big day – and invitations have been sent out to their guests.

He said: “I was just invited to their wedding and it’s going to be amazing.”
