Sir David Beckham is seen beaming after finally getting his knighthood as he watches his team Inter Miami play during the FIFA Club World Cup


The former footballer, 50, declared himself 'immensely proud' on Friday as he finally got a knighthood after years of being snubbed.

Leaked emails suggested he had savaged the nominations committee as 'unappreciative c***s' and branded their decision 'a disgrace, to be honest', although his office subsequently insisted they had been doctored by a hacker. But that was all behind him today as Sir David proudly led the King's Birthday Honours list recognising 1,200 people from community champions to cultural icons. The day before Sir David was given the honour, he was seen chatting with the King at a St James's Palace ceremony for the monarch's foundation, of which the retired footballer is an ambassador.
