He said that he had grown up in a "household of royalists" and noted that had his grandparents been alive, they would have wanted to visit the Queen's coffin. Beckham, who had met the Queen a number of times throughout his career, added: "I'm here on their behalf and on behalf of my family and obviously just to celebrate with everybody else here." In 2003, David Beckham was also made an officer of the Order of the British Empire and received his medal in person from Queen Elizabeth II. Expressing his gratitude and respect for the deceased monarch, he said: "To step up, to get my honour, but then also Her Majesty, to ask questions, to talk, I was so lucky that I was able to have a few moments like that in my life, to be around Her Majesty." He continued to say that although it was a sad day, it was a day for the people to remember the "incredible legacy" the Queen has left. After filing past the coffin, the football icon spoke to reporters again and told them that it was a very emotional moment for him. He added that the feeling in the room was inexplicable and that everyone was there just to thank the Queen for being "kind, for being caring, for being reassuring throughout the years." After news of the Queen's demise broke last week, David Beckham and his wife Victoria Beckham took to Instagram to honor her memory. View this post on Instagram Instagram Post In his post, he spoke about how inspired he was by her leadership and how the outpouring of grief demonstrated what she meant to the people of the country and the world. View this post on Instagram Instagram Post The Beckhams were considered close to the royal family and were a part of several royal events. They attended the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton in 2011 and that of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in 2018. On Monday, the queen’s coffin will be taken from Westminster Hall to Westminster Abbey where the state funeral will be held.
