Sir David Beckham

Me too. He has really wanted it for some time and I think sometimes you wait longer if you do but I do think he deserves it, he does a lot of charity work

About time.

Yes and definitely about time

I don't agree with the system but as it stands Beckham has long deserved a knighthood.

Does that make Posh a ‘lady’? Ye gods, there’ll be no holding her back now! This must be the best ever thing to happen to her, and she is undoubtedly out looking for tiaras as we speak!
Congratulations to David though, this is well-deserved.

The leaked email just delayed it I think. He got it eventually.

I’m glad. He deserves it. He does work in public and behind the scenes for charity. He also seems to be a nice family orientated person.

Yay! Well deserved, David Beckham.

Not before time! I’ve always seen him as a good role model and family man - - a couple of blips excepted, nobody’s perfect. Charitable, hard-working and talented. Exceedingly easy on the eye as well, but I’m guessing that wasn’t taken into account.

I think the blips ( eg the speeding fine) were what set him back from getting a knight hood. He was quite instrumental in getting us the Olympic Games and I’m pleased that what he has done for the country has finally been acknowledged. He was also a pretty good footballer!

🙄 me too Grannylynj let's face it, he's been on a mission to get it

Yes, ‘Posh’ will be ‘Lady Beckham’.

I'm not sure calling the committee 'unappreciative &@*' hurried this along. It's a shame that some people want recognition/reward for their good deeds..

It's a shame when people like Beckham, unfairly, do not get the recognition. Well done Beckham.

Finally. Maybe it’ll make up for the fallout with Beckham Jnr and his wife.

Jesus wept!

Crossstichfan is blasphemy really necessary??

Why not?
He deserves a knighthood for staying in that kind of shape at his age.
Plus he was instrumental in getting us 2012.
And was an exceedingly good footballer.
Lady Posh can say that she was "posh" before she was a Lady......

He does much for charity, was a great sportsman,

Very well deserved. One of the good guys IMO.

Compared to some people who have been knighted.

Beckham should have been a shoe-in.

A knighthood for kicking a ball around a patch of grass and I love football.
SIR David Beckham soon forgot his support for the LGBTQ community when Qatar paid him an eyewatering £125m to be their football ambassador when they hosted the World Cup. I have little time for people like him who ditch their ethics when they hear the chink of money.
We had a speaker at our WI meeting this week. He told us about Marcus Macfarlane-Barrow who founded Mary's Meals, a charity that provides a free school meal every day for 2.6 million children in the poorest parts of the world. Their HQ is a garden shed in Scotland so that as much money as possible goes to feed these children. It's the Marcus's of this world who deserve a knighthood.

How unusual to enjoy football yet describe t as kicking a
ball around a patch of grass
