That's Sir David Beckham to you!
On Tuesday (4 November) the football legend, 50, was officially bestowed with a knighthood, after being selected in King Charles III's latest Birthday Honours list.
Becks was honoured for his services to sport and charity, having played for England 115 times and being a huge supporter of several causes, including serving as a goodwill ambassador for the humanitarian aid organisation UNICEF since 2005.
He wore a grey suit made by his wife, Victoria Beckham, 51, who accompanied him to the event, as well as his parents, Sandra and Ted.

The celebrity couple, who are parents to Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14, were later joined by their three youngest; however, Brooklyn was missing from the family photos at the event.
Snaps shared by Romeo, Victoria, and David himself show the family all dressed to the nines as they posed together to commemorate the special moment.
But as we say, it's got people questioning why the Beckhams' eldest, Brooklyn, missed the important moment.
Let's start from the beginning, shall we?
The alleged 'feud' between Brooklyn and his parents is thought to have kicked off not long after he got into a relationship with his now-wife, actress Nicola Peltz.
They first crossed paths and began dating back in 2019, and the hot sauce brand founder got down on one knee in July 2020.
At the time, Brooklyn wrote: "Two weeks ago I asked my soulmate to marry me and she said yes xx I am the luckiest man in the world. I promise to be the best husband and the best daddy one day. I love you baby xx.”
Nicola replied: "You’ve made me the luckiest girl in the world. I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life by your side. your love is the most precious gift. I love you so so much baby."
The two got married in April of 2022 at Nicola's family's lavish Palm Beach estate in Florida.
Most weddings don't come without at least a tiny bit of drama - and just because you're famous doesn't make it any different.
In 2022, there were reports that Nicola had refused to wear one of fashion designer Victoria’s designs for her big day.
In May 2025, a source told PEOPLE that the rumours of a clash were real, claiming that Victoria told Nicola she'd love to make her wedding dress.
Nicola allegedly said it would 'be her honour' to do so and that she'd 'love to wear one of her originals'.
However, Victoria reportedly changed her mind, and one source told the publication: "Nicola was painted as a brat for not wearing Victoria Beckham at the wedding. She'd gone to a ton of Victoria Beckham fashion shows and events in Victoria's clothing. She even wore Victoria Beckham to her Lola movie premiere."
However, a second insider told the publication that this is 'far from the truth'.
And the wedding drama didn't end there, as more fallout allegedly took place when it came to the first dance.
Beckham family friend Marc Anthony reportedly got onstage to perform for their first dance, according to PEOPLE.
An insider claimed: “Before the song began, Marc Anthony asked Brooklyn to come to the stage, and then announced, ‘The most beautiful woman in the room tonight, come on up… Victoria Beckham!'” which reportedly left Nicola 'running from the room crying'.
A source told Page Six: “The shock was palpable. It was deeply hurtful. Unfortunately, this wasn’t a one-off. It’s a pattern that still happens to this day.”
“Nicola felt like Victoria did this on purpose, when she knew it was a pre-planned romantic dance meant for Brooklyn and Nicola. What she couldn’t understand was why,” another source added.
In March least year, Brooklyn showcased that he'd got a new tattoo to pay tribute to his wife, which featured a letter wrote him before their wedding day.
Some outlets alleged that Brooklyn covered up a 'Mama's Boy' tattoo, but recent photos appear to show a delicate floral design has been worked around the piece, rather than covering it.
There are also a slew of rumours and cryptic social media posts that eagle-eyed fans have been keeping tabs on.
For example, Brooklyn captioned a recent video with: "My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you’re the most amazing person I know.” Nicola reposted the same clip writing: "I’ve always got you baby."
Days later, Cruz shared a family throwback photo and penned: “I love my family… Mum & Dad, you gave us life and cared for us no matter what," which some fans took to be passive aggressive.
David also shared a dedication to Brooklyn on Father's Day, however, he didn't respond publicly.
Some people think the feud came to a head in May when the Beckhams threw a big birthday party this weekend to celebrate David's landmark 50th birthday and Brooklyn and his wife didn't attend.
At the time, a source told The Sun: "David is heartbroken but putting a brave face on it. Tonight is all about celebration and love, and he is swimming in it."
Meanwhile, other reports claimed the couple also didn't turn up to David's other birthday celebrations in the UK and France.
Additionally, three years on from their wedding day in August, Nicola and Brooklyn decided to renew their vows, and again, the rest of the family didn't appear to attend.
And as we say, Brooklyn seemingly missed the Knighthood, which would have been a huge moment for his dad.
Tyla has contacted a rep for the Beckhams for comment.
