One of his two dads has a penchant for headwear so it would be safe to assume that baby Zachary was dressed by Elton John.

The ten-month-old was carried by daddy number two David Furnish as they left their hotel in New York.

And he crowning glory was a old man-style flat cap in grey with the Union Jack emblazoned across the top.

The couple kept Zachary warm in a grey hooded coat, with a green tracksuit and blue socks.

Meanwhile, Elton himself was dressed in a black Adidas tracksuit with a pair of black shoes.

Partner David Furnish went for a smarter look wearing jeans, a black leather biker jacket and a white T-shirt.

Surrogate: Elton and David conceived their son via a surrogacy program in America

Keeping a firm grip: David Furnish carries Zachary to their waiting car

Zachary was born on Christmas Day last year and, after the couple undertook a surrogacy program in America, the mixing of their semen specimens was allowed - a process which is currently banned in the UK - before being used to fertilise a previously chosen egg.

When asked which of them is Zachary's biological father, Furnish explained: 'We both contributed. For the time being we don't have a clue. We look at him every day and at the moment he has Elton's nose and my hands.

'Neither of us care. He's our child. The important thing is that he's healthy and happy and loved.'
