It was less than two weeks ago the Ecclestone clan were all together in the South of France for Tamara's wedding.
However, on Friday, it was a rather more subdued occasion as the billionaire family got together in London for Petra's baby daughter Lavinia's christening.
Doting mother Petra, 24, and her husband James Stunt, 30, proudly showed off their four-month-old daughter to assorted friends and family at the Church of England service.

Proud day: Petra was joined by her husband James Stunt
With the three Ecclestone women - Petra, Tamara, 28; and their mother Slavica - all in white and cream, they attended the morning service at St Peter's Church in Eaton Square, Belgravia.
Also in attendance alongside proud father James was his father-in-law Bernie, 82, and his new son-in-law Jay Rutland, 31.
It appeared Petra had hired a videographer to capture little Lavinia's religious milestone for a home video.

Following the service, the family went to one of their favourite restaurants C London for a post-christening lunch.
Although Petra and James now live in Los Angeles, it is believed they welcomed Lavinia into the world in a London hospital in February.
Although the birth was never announced, Petra was said to have flown back to LA shortly after Lavinia's arrival.

However, it appears Petra was keen for her baby's spiritual roots to start in her hometown of London.
Petra herself was only christened two years ago shortly before her wedding because she wanted her ceremony to be traditional.
Her then-fiance James and mother Slavica were the only ones present when Petra underwent the baptism in a London church in July 2011.

At the time, James said: 'Petra wasn’t christened as a baby and wants to do it now before our wedding so that everything can be done properly.'
The couple went on to tie the knot in a religious ceremony just outside Rome in August 2011, with the overall celebrations costing a reported £12million.
In comparison, Tamara's recent wedding to Jay on the South Of France cost a significantly less £7million.
Following the christening, Tamara, Petra, and their respective husband flew to Capri, Italy, on Saturday for a family holiday.
