Roll up, roll up! Tottering Posh leads the pack as Beckhams and Cruises go to the circus in New York

She may have been wearing sky-high Christian Louboutins, but that didn't slow Victoria Beckham down as she took her family along for another day of bonding with powerhouse couple Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.

Posh, who accessorised her cigarette pants and boucle jacket with oversized sunglasses and a classic Chanel handbag, lead the pack as the families celebrated Thanksgiving Day with a sight-seeing tour of New York.

Head for heights: Posh, accompanied husband David and sons Romeo and Cruz, managed a day of sight-seeing and trip to the circus in killer Louboutins

Not even the tricky terrain in Central Park proved to much for the former Spice Girl, who managed to totter along the uneven ground with ease and expertise.

By contrast, Katie kept it casual - and practical - in suede boots, jeans, a stylish navy pea coat coat.

The high profile party also included Victoria and David's three sons Brooklyn, 9, Romeo, 6, and Cruz, 3, and Tom's three children, Isabella, 15, Connor, 13,and of course, 2-year-old Suri.

After strolling through Central Park, the gang then rolled up at the Big Apple Circus in Uptown Manhattan.

The Cruises, who are currently based in New York while Katie sees out her time on Broadway, pulled out all the stops for their guests, finishing the afternoon outing with a horse and carriage ride through the city.

The families have spent the last 48 hours together, yesterday taking in a dinner date at the Italian eatery Il Cantinori.

It appears Victoria and David are eager to revive the A-list friendship, which has apparently been under strain in recent times.

The Cruises were among the first to welcome the Beckham clan to America in spectacular style, and for a time Katie and Victoria were almost inseparable.

But until now, they hadn't been photographed together in almost six months.

There were some claims the friendship cooled because the Beckhams had refused to consider joining Scientology - a religion close to Tom's heart.

There was also whispers of a simmering rivalry between Katie and Posh over their endeavors in the fashion world.
