Liam and Noel Gallagher’s children proved that they’re closer than ever as they reunited for the ‘pic of the century’ ahead of their fathers’ first Manchester show.
Wrapping their arms around each other back stage at Heaton Park on Friday, Liam’s youngest child, Gene, 24, shared a photo to Instagram.
He was joined by his brother Lennon, 25, and cousins, Noel’s daughter Anais, 25, and his sons Donovan, 17, and Sonny, 14.
Gene captioned the photo: ‘Pic of the century, alright? now everyone els (sic) f**k off’.’
Notably missing from the picture was Liam’s daughter, Molly, 27.
Liam shares Gene with Nicole Appleton and later welcomed Lennon with Patsy Kensit.

Noel shares Anais with Meg Mathews, and her brothers Sonny, 15, and Donovan, 18, with Sara MacDonald.
Liam is currently engaged to Debbie Gwyther and have been together since 2013, meanwhile Noel is dating Sally Mash.
Gene is a member of unsigned band Villanelle and they supported Noel on his last solo tour.
He has been writing songs for a number of years and also recalled his famous father encouraging him to get in on the music scene – but on the condition that he was good.
He noted that he was only given the change to open for his dad earlier last year if he was good after being warned that he would only ‘cringe’ if his performance was not up to scratch.
Oasis are set to play in front of 80,000 people in their home city of Manchester on Friday after kicking off their world reunion tour in Cardiff last week.
The shows at Heaton Park – a 600-acre public park in Bury and Manchester – are the only UK shows held outside a stadium, with the others taking place at the Principality Stadium, Wembley and Murrayfield.
Fans started queuing hours before the gates opened at Heaton Park with attendees facing a 90-minute wait for trams at Victoria Station.

Spirits were high despite queuing in the blistering heat
People were seen camped out as the queue formed by the side of the road, with a sea of camp chairs and bucket hats.
With temperatures of 28 degrees in Manchester, roasting hot revellers were seen fanning themselves or sheltering from the sun under umbrellas.
Excited fans were seen gathering in huge crowds as they awaited the gates opening for the show.
And to their delight, they did open early - with fans able to get into the park to get a good spot for the show, five hours ahead of the band taking to the stage.
In the city centre concert goers faced a 90-minute wait for trams with fans voicing their concerns on X.
According to Manchester Evening News, transport staff informed the public to order taxis or walk from Victoria Station to Heaton Park.
The brothers announced the Oasis Live '25 tour last August, starting with two dates in Cardiff, before heading across the UK and Ireland.
- News coverage of Oasis concerts including Manchester has been affected by the decision of band management to impose unacceptable specific restrictions on Press photography inside venues.
- From the Manchester gigs onwards, long-established international and national news agencies have each suspended their news photo coverage of performances.
