It was a family flight! Madonna touches down in London with youngest children Mercy and David in tow

She is the queen of switching up her look, sound and sometimes even accent.

But one role that is consistent in Madonna’s life is that of being a mother to her four children.

And on Friday the 54-year-old had that hat firmly on as she arrived in London alongside her youngest adopted children Mercy James and David Banda.

They've arrived! Madonna arrived at Heathrow airport in London with David Banda and daughter Mercy James on Friday

Holding on to her children’s hands the singer looked a far cry from her on stage self, dressed down in flight friendly clothes.

Opting for comfort, rather than some of the more provocative items she wears on stage, she wore a pair of loose fitting black trousers.

She teamed them with a black top, black pointy loafers and a leopard print scarf tied around her neck.

Her blonde has was un-styled, falling with a slight wave around her shoulder, while she covered her eyes with a large pair of shades.

David showed he’s probably been picking up style tips from his mother and wore an eye-catching green Adidas tracksuit, with a matching hat.

Mercy was more low-key wearing slim fit black jeans and a grey T-shirt with a white skull motif across the front.

Quality time: Madonna makes sure her children get the attention they need when she's not working

The gang weren’t joined by Madonna’s eldest children Rocco and Lourdes, nor was her boyfriend Brahim Zaibat.

Madonna recently opened up about her parenting skills while promoting her new documentary Madonna: The MDNA Tour.

The singer confessed on Good Morning American that she is a 'pretty strict' mother, and that she only just gifted her 16-year-old daughter Lourdes with an iPhone, while son Rocco, 12, is yet to be given a mobile device.

Eldest: Her daughter Lourdes, 16, also was not present on the flight

But she sighed as she admitted, only half in jest: 'Ever since my daughter got an iPhone she stopped talking to me.'

And she revealed that she is still getting used to that fact that Lourdes is nearly an adult.

'Seeing my daughter at 16 - it's kind of uncomfortable,' she said. 'She's still my little girl and she's also a woman.'

On July 10 1985, The Playboy magazine issue of nude Madonna photos was released !!

Playboy publishes nude photos of Madonna taken before she was famous. The singer did a number of nude photo shoots from 1977-1980, starting when she was an 18-year-old student at the University of Michigan looking for some extra cash and trying to form a band. Now a huge star, Playboy publishes some of the shots taken in 1979 and 1980 in a revealing spread. A year earlier, the magazine turned down nude photos of Miss America winner Vanessa Williams , which their rival Penthouse published. "We think Vanessa genuinely didn't know what she was doing, didn't know her photos might be published," the article states. "Madonna, on the other hand, posed repeatedly for two noted photographers who routinely publish what they shoot." One of the photographers, Lee Friedlander, says of the shoot: "She seemed very confident, a street-wise girl." Madonna has little to say on the matter, but doesn't shy away. "I'm not ashamed,...
