David Beckham made his oldest fan's dreams come true by sending a touching video message to her care home.
The former England skipper, 47, stunned 102-year-old Mona Hurry with his surprise at a David Beckham appreciation day at Castor Lodge in Peterborough organised by her carers, who wore Beckham masks.
In the video, Becks said: "Hey Mona, I just wanted to send you a message because everybody at Castor Lodge, all of the staff and of course your daughters, have said what an incredible lady you are.
"I also want to say a personal thank you because I know you’ve followed my career and I know you're a huge football fan.

"I'm sending lots of love for being an incredible person."
Mona, a code-breaker in the Women's Royal Naval Service during the Second World War, even has a life-sized cardboard cutout of Becks in her bedroom.
She said of her idol: "He doesn't have airs and graces."
Mona's daughters were amazed by the day. Her daughter Maureen said: "It is years since I have seen my mother with such a smile on her face. Who knew a cut-out David Beckham was all it needed?! Thank you for doing this for her."
Daughter Victoria said: "Absolutely amazing - my mother looks so animated and is smiling. Thank you all at Castor for your thoughtfulness and for making my mother a day to remember."
Laura Mills, a manager at the home, helped to arrange the party and video message. She said: "Mona adores David Beckham and loves to talk about him. She always says what a special, lovely and charitable man he is."
She added: "Mona is an incredibly sweet and kind lady herself, who always reaches out to everybody in the home to ask how they are."
