Former England captain Sir David Beckham has been formally knighted for his services to football and British society.
The 50-year-old, who was named on King Charles’ Birthday Honours list earlier this year, was knighted by the King during a ceremony in Berkshire on Tuesday.
“I couldn’t be prouder,” said Beckham. “People know how patriotic I am – I love my country.
“I’ve always said how important the monarchy is to my family.
“I’m lucky enough to have travelled around the world and all people want to talk to me about is our monarchy. It makes me proud.”
Beckham was joined by his wife Victoria and his parents Sandra and David at Windsor Castle.
