"Madonna went hell for leather through Heathrow airport yesterday as she took adopted son David Banda on his first trip to Hollywood. And the star. dressed in a full-length black leather coat and shades, was all set for departure even before putting on her seatbelt - with a cap bearing the legend "Take Off".

Little 15-month-old David - whom she adopted in Malawi last October - looked comfortably at ease in his mum's arms in spite of fans who gathered to see the Material Girl. An onlooker said: "Madonna looked incredibly relaxed with him."
