Emotional David Beckham Bows Head to the Queen

[@Kari_B61ex]

A true British patriot - wore the three lions on his shirt proudly, accepted his OBE from Her Majesty. Then queued for 12 hours and even bought doughnuts for his fellow queuers. David, you did yourself and your country proud... he even said when he was interviewed in the crowd, "Her Majesty gave our country 70 years, I'm spending a few hours in a queue"

Well it's the very least they can do for the Person of the Millenium. Prolly only Michael Jackson and her will be known about in 5000 yrs onwards. I have watched a lot and media only bringing secluded highlights. Some are really really heartbreaking but roughly 90% of ppl know neither how to dress nor behave. It's usually older ppl who can barely walk to follow slightest protocol and courtesy in front of Her Majesty. OF COURSE! Despite seeing Princess Anne acknowledging the casket at Edinburgh Cathedral. I seen middle aged men in Adidas shorts. I only thought what's next to be allowed inside ... Trash Millenials in bathing suits?! Despite having no conscience how they represent themselves for World History Pictures/Movies; Most these ppl only want to be on TV and bragging on Asocial Media that they were there - that's the sad state of the world.... including Britain! Elizabeth II was the last bastion of standards. Now the world will be faster ruined than the Roman Empire next 20 yrs. Fitting for Charles.

[@judyjones1439]

I was just thinking that. In the US, people would be talking, trying to take a picture of Beckman on their phone, or complaining on how long the line was.

[@iseeraspberries6727]

@@BEEyonced I agree with you that some people should have thought about their outfit choice but I don't think that is something tied specifically to this occasion or country. There will always be people who live only by the written rules aka it's not illegal to wear Adidas shorts to give respect to a deceased person so noone can make me to. They don't follow basic manners of politeness or etiquette. I've seen this on multiple occasions myself. It's sad as in the past people tend to follow those way more. However there's nothing one can do about it. However I don't think majority went there to brag on social media. I would bet that there are extremely strict rules about phones and photographing, you know? Also it's mostly people who are not exactly teenagers or those 20 somethings who use them the most. I believe Charles is very well prepared for his role. He's over 70 after all and son of the Queen. Sure he is not her and won't be there as long as she was but that's not the point. He will do it his way but still devoted to the public. Have a great day!

As a brit living in the US, it's hard to explain to others what it's like to be British. This moment right here is all you need to see. I'll refer anyone else that asks me that question forever more to this video.

[@Echochamber79]

Well said! I am a Brit also living in the US... been about 8 years now. I feel your pain as I too have been feeling that... its a very odd feeling, very proud to be British and have such a sense of loss...

[@harryc8415]

So much respect for David Beckham,He could probably have pulled a few strings to by pass the queue but chose to do it properly. A special mention to those around him in the queue that allowed him to be just another mourner also. Best wishes David from Scotland.

[@AshleyS60]

The loyalty, dedication, respect and love for the Queen is truly remarkable. What a lovely show of respect and genuine grief by David Beckham and also for the way everyone else doesn't shift their attention or anything away from the Queen just speaks to the profoundly beloved lady she is. Rest in peace Your Majesty, you are severely missed

[@attila2017]

I am a Hungarian man and I would like to "send" a big respect for David honestly. He is a real british gentleman and an emotional, warm-hearted guy. My previous picture was totally different about this football star but now I need to change my "wrong" impression. God save the "Queen", King and these good kind of British patriots!

What an amazing admiration, full of respect for this one man in the name of David Beckham... Even though he's a well-known sportsman who lead the English football team for so many years, he choose to being a simple and humble man by this kind of gesture he show.... So much full of love and respect to David.... From Philippines....

David Beckham never ceases to impress me, but this vaults him to such a level of respect, patriotism, and humility and care that I didn’t even know existed within myself or others. He is a mold from which future men should be cast, that’s for sure!

[@maria18902]

Foreign? The Queen was born here and her mother was of Scottish heritage; the Bowes-Lyon family is descended from the Royal House of Scotland. Our royals, alongside their aristocratic brethren, are not full German or 'foreign' - most Brits, particularly in England, are of German heritage due to ancestors who migrated here from Saxony (modern day northern Germany) between 400 and 1000BCE, prior to the Norman invasion here (themselves Norse in origin). Over 30% of British people have German genetics. We also share many ancient DNA markers with the French, with around 40% of British having those genetics. Other Brits have Danish markers too (from the Vikings). Have you heard the term 'Anglo-Saxon'? Perhaps you should look up where that originates from. Despite our historic wars with Germany we share ancient bloodlines. Also, we consider people who are born here as 'British', so the fact that you would state our monarch was not a true Brit and 'foreign' due to her mixed European heritage is not something modern Britons would take kindly to - many British subjects have families from other nations but whom were born here and, by definition and legal right, are British. In short, the Queen and her family are probably no more German, genetically, than most white British people (particularly those in England, where most invasions took place and where foreign genetic markers made the most impact). We are not 'Little Englanders' and are far more continental in our DNA than many presume - much like the Royals themselves. The UK is made up of four nations and the Commonwealth have even more diversity - the Queen was a figure head for us all. Arm yourself with a few facts, first, before exposing your knowledge on so little and insulting nations of peoples.

I'm not surprised only further impressed. I saw Mr. Beckham play a full game in Vancouver even though he was playing injured. During half time he returned to the field unannounced in order to watch the young girls and boys teams play. He then signed autographs for them during the intermission. Later, once the game had ended, he returned and ran around the field clapping his hands to the 60,000 plus people that all came to see him play. He's a class guy and what a shot!

[@deborahcarlisle3262]

It says alot about the thousands of people who queued for hours on end to pay their respects to the late wonderful Queen and also shows that we had the most loyal and caring Queen we could ever wish for. And she will be forever missed. No one can that.

Love that David stood in line like everyone else. Much respect.

[@marklauzon186]

Just the simplicity and genuineness of their behaviour at the Casket is awe inspiring. Beckham bowed and for the first time I cried. He did what I would have done had I been able to go. Ive lived in London. Between that and the countless hours of video Ive watched on You tube over the years about the Royal Family I feel a sense of connection and admiration.

He waited in line for hours just like everyone else... you can see the emotion in his face as he was getting closer. I got teary-eyed. I may not be British... (though my last name is Spencer) but i was always fascinated by the Royal family. I will miss the Queen very much. 💔
