Becks, Goldenballs and now officially Sir David, football star David Beckham has received his knighthood from the King - and told Sky News he cried when he found out about the honour.
After years in the running following his OBE in 2003, the former England captain and Manchester United star has now been knighted for his services to sport and charity at an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle. Sir David's wife Victoria, the Spice Girl turned fashion designer and now Lady Victoria, joined him at the event - and of course, designed his suit.
The couple married in 1999 and have four children together, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper. Speaking to Sky News after being knighted by the King, he said it was "such a big moment" for him and his family.
"I cried when I first found out, and possibly for a few months after it as well," he said. "This week has been really emotional...
I've not been nervous, I've just been emotional." Asked how he now likes to be referred to at home, Sir David joked: "I'm not insisting, [but] if they would like to call me Sir Dad or Sir Son, they can. But no, it's going to take some getting used to people saying it.
It's just a huge honour." A "huge royalist.
