Becks Scores His Biggest Honour: Arise, Sir David
Sir David Beckham received his knighthood at Windsor Castle, marking the culmination of a long and widely followed journey toward one of Britain’s highest.
I’ve been very obviously lucky in my career to have won what I’ve won and done what I’ve done, but to receive an honour like this, of a knight, is beyond anything that I ever thought that I would receive.
He added:
To be honest, a young boy from the East End of London, born in Leytonstone, and here at Windsor Castle, being honoured by His Majesty the King, the most important and the most respected institution in the world, it’s quite a moment. This is without doubt my proudest moment.
Sir David arrived in a grey suit custom-designed by his wife, Victoria Beckham, which he discussed with the King, crediting His Majesty for inspiring the look.
