David Beckham spotted in Queen queue as he lines up for over 12 hours

Former footballer David Beckham was among the thousands of people who queued for hours to pay their respects to the Queen.

The 47-year-old ex-England captain joined the long queue at 2am on Friday morning to see the late monarch lying-in-state, and he was still there at 2pm. He was spotted in the background, wearing a flat cap, as crowds of people flocked to London to stand and wait.

The star said it was "special to be here". Speaking about paying tribute to the Queen on the football pitch, he told ITV News: "Every time that we stood there when we wore those Three Lion shirts and I had my armband and we sang God Save Our Queen, that was something that meant so much to us. Every time that we did it, it was something special.
