Actress Liz Hurley's baby son Damian Charles was christened Saturday in the presence of a host of celebrities. Soccer star David Beckham and his popstar wife Victoria, who is heavily pregnant with the couple's second child, were joined by Sir Elton John and his partner David Furnish, Patsy Kensit, Elle Macpherson and shoe designer Patrick Cox. Liz's closest male friends, ex-boyfriend Hugh Grant and British aristocrat Henry Dent Brocklehurst, were godparents along with Sir Elton. The baptism took place Saturday evening in the picturesque Church of the Immaculate Conception in London's Mayfair district. Former Estee Lauder model Liz arrived for the christening in a white dress to match Damien's christening shawl. While most guests remained tight-lipped about the ceremony, one guest revealed, "It was a truly beautiful ceremony, Liz looked absolutely amazing, dressed up to the nines for the evening reception. She looked emotional and a truly proud mum as the ceremony took place. Shortly before the ceremony Liz glanced back and looked at all the friends and family present and appeared to be really emotional. It was a simple ceremony but also a very moving one. There was a slight religious nature to the proceedings but overall it was just a warm and friendly evening." One noticeable absence was Damian's father, movie producer Steven Bing, who reluctantly admitted to being the father after having a DNA test.
