David Beckham breaks silence after Queen queue praise as Brooklyn Beckham forced to amend tribute

David Beckham has spoke out for the first time since he was praised for joining his fellow mourners in the queue for the Queen lying in state. The former Manchester United footballer was spotted among the thousands waiting to pay their final respects to Queen Elizabeth II on Friday.

He was among those joining the line on the second full day the public were able to enter Westminster Hall before the four days of lying in state came to an end on Monday morning, hours before her state funeral was held at Westminster Abbey and in Windsor.

David's wait to see the Queen as she lay in state began at 2am on Friday morning (September 16). He went early to try and avoid the crowds. However, he was spotted by fellow well-wishers, with pictures circulating on social media before he was interviewed by ITV.
