Sir David Beckham's mother can't stop crying after knighthood announcement
Sir David Beckham has revealed his mother couldn't stop crying over his knighthood.
On Friday (13.06.25), the retired football legend was named in the King's Birthday Honours ahead of an official ceremony, and he has opened up about his mother Sandra's reaction after they enjoyed a lunch at Tony's Pie and Mash in London.
He wrote on Instagram: "Lunch with Mum , haven't seen her since the news...
"Mum cried when she arrived , cried during lunch and cried when I was leaving x special moment for us all.
"Love you mum x @sandra_beckham49 (Dads next) (sic)"
Sandra admitted she felt "emotional" having people approach her son to offer their congratulations using his new title.
She commented under the post: "Love you more... was emotional people saying congratulations Sir... see tears again (sic)"
David is married to former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham and has Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and 13-year-old Harper Seven with her.
The Manchester United legend - whose wife will now be known as Lady Victoria Beckham - has been given the honour for services to sport and charity.
Victoria wrote on Instagram after the news: "You've always been my knight in shining armour, but now it's official.
"Sir @davidbeckham!!! What an honour, I couldn't be prouder of you. Your dedication to the things that matter most — your country, your work, your passion, and most of all, your family — has never wavered.
"The way you've touched so many lives over the years with kindness and humility speaks volumes about the man you are and continues to inspire us everyday.
"But above all else, I'm so, so proud to call you mine. I love you so much xxxx"
In 2003, he was given an OBE by the late Queen Elizabeth for services to football.
The former England captain has a long history of charitable work, which Honours Committee officials will have considered before deciding to bestow him with the honour.
