David Beckham, his wife Victoria and their three sons — Brooklyn, 9, Romeo, 5, and Cruz, 3 — catch a departing flight out of LAX airport in Los Angeles on Friday.

Next week, David (and maybe his family) will be flying off to China to participate in the closing ceremonies representing London — the next city to host the Summer Olympics in 2012.

“David is going to be in the surprise finale. They always have a segment to do the handover, to showcase the next city to host the Olympics,” a source tells People. “He was very involved in the London bid to get it, and as a Londoner he is incredibly proud that the Olympics will be in London. He is passionate about it and looking forward to the games in 2012.”

The closing ceremony will take place on Sunday, August 24th at Beijing’s National Stadium.

David Beckham drives two of his sons home after dinner at Madeo restaurant in Los Angeles on Tuesday, around 11PM PST. Brooklyn, 9, sat shotgun while Cruz, 3, took a nap in the backseat.

The 33-year-old soccer star just blogged about his family being completely settled in L.A. Here’s what he had to say: “It seems like only a few weeks ago I arrived in Los Angeles with my family ready for the next chapter in our lives. A year later and we feel so settled here, everyone loves California and everyone has made us feel so welcome. I can’t imagine being anywhere else in the world right now. Of course, I’m enjoying playing my soccer too.”
