Elton John's kids lead Watford out to the FA Cup Final Wembley Stadium

ELTON John's kids acted as mascots for his beloved Watford at the FA Cup final tonight against Manchester City.

The 72-year-old singer, who is Watford’s president, can’t make the final because he is playing a gig in Copenhagen.

But his eight-year-old Zachary, who is a promising young player in the Hornets’ academy, and his brother Elijah, six, walked out with the players at Wembley.

Elton was owner and chairman of Watford when they last reached the FA Cup final against Everton under Graham Taylor in 1984.

He was in tears when he watched them walk out of the tunnel ahead of their 2-0 defeat against Howard Kendall’s side at the old stadium.

Although he cannot be there himself for their FA Cup final return 35 years later, it was a proud moment when his kids walked out on to the hallowed turf.

Elton's Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour hits Denmark on the same evening as his beloved team’s bid for glory.

But the lifelong fan took to Instagram to share photos of him cheering from backstage in Copenhagan.

And when the Hornets booked their place in the final, stars like keeper Ben Foster teased him about his upcoming absence.

Foster said at the time: “It’s no dilemma. He should cancel right now.

“I have loads of people I know who have weddings for that day and stuff.

"It is their own fault, d*ckheads, don't book a wedding in the summer for Cup final day!

“I don't think you could have predicted this at the beginning of the season. But as the season wore on it became obvious we had the chance of doing something.

“So Elton you just need to cancel, sorry guys.”
