David Beckham misses out on knighthood once again after queuing to pay respects to Queen

David Beckham has once more missed out on a knighthood in the New Year's Honours list, despite queuing for hours to pay respect to the late Queen after her death.

The former footballer - nicknamed Goldenballs - had previously been ruled out of a knighthood in past years, due to using a tax avoidance scheme.

And although he no longer uses the scheme, he was once again snubbed from the list in 2022, despite waiting for hours to file past the Queen's coffin as she lay in state in Westminster Palace following her death in September.
