Everybody wants to be here to be a part of this experience - England and Manchester United legend David Beckham waits over 12 hours in queue to pay tribute to Queen Elizabeth

By Jidonu Mauyon Modified 17 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Manchester United legend - David Beckham. Former England and Manchester United winger David Beckham has revealed that he had to wait for over 12 hours in a queue to pay respect to Queen Elizabeth II, whose coffin continues to lie in state at Westminster Hall. On Friday morning (September 16), the Englishman was seen among members of the public waiting to view the coffin of the Queen, who died at age 96 on September 8. Beckham had to spend several hours in a long queue due to the massive crowd that turned up to pay homage to the ex-monarch.

Beckham said: "I thought by coming at 2 a.m. it was going to be a little bit quieter. I was wrong. Everybody had that in mind. The people here are all ages. There was an 84-year-old lady walking around. There was a 90-year-old gentleman walking around." "Everybody wants to be here to be a part of this experience and celebrate what Her Majesty has done for us." During his interview with ITV, David Beckham recounted his personal experience of meeting the Queen when he received his OBE. The honor is granted to people who have completed an 'outstanding achievement or service to the community', according to the BBC. Recalling the experience, Beckham said: "To step up, I have my wife there as well, to get my honor and to speak to Her Majesty. To ask a question. I was so lucky to have a few moments like that in my life." GB News@GBNEWSDavid Beckham sees Queen Elizabeth II Lying-In-State after queueing since 2am
