David Beckham expressed his admiration for the Queen earlier this evening in a video message that was beamed onto Buckingham Palace for the Platinum Jubilee.
The former footballer, 47 - who received an OBE in 2003 - was among the celebrities who paid tribute to the monarch in the Party at the Palace celebrations on BBC tonight.
He said in his message to the Queen: "For 70 years you have worked so incredibly hard, not just for the people of this country but also for the whole commonwealth."
