Madonna celebrated her dad's 90th birthday alongside her six children and has praised him for raising her to respect the "importance of hard work". The 62-year-old pop star has taken to Instagram to reveal she was joined by her kids - Lourdes, 24, Rocco, 20, David, 15, Mercy, 15, Estere, eight, and Stelle, eight - at the Ciccone Vineyard & Winery in Michigan, where they all gathered to celebrate Silvio Ciccone's landmark birthday.

Alongside a behind-the-scenes video from the family event, Madonna wrote: "My father is a survivor growing up as an Italian Immigrant in the US and living thru many traumas but always working hard for everything he had— He taught me the importance of hard work and earning one’s way in life.............Again I thank you. [praying emoji] It was so special to spend your 90th birthday with you and my children in your vineyard.
