Sir David Beckham has revealed that receiving his knighthood from the King at Windsor Castle was "something I could never imagine" during an emotional speech on Tuesday.
Speaking after the ceremony, where he was appointed a knight for services to charity and sports development, Beckham expressed his overwhelming gratitude towards his family and fans who have supported him throughout his career.
The former England captain described the moment of being awarded knighthood as "something I could never imagine" - highlighting that this honor is reserved only for those who have demonstrated exceptional achievements in their field. He emphasized how proud he was to receive such a prestigious recognition, which reflects the tireless efforts made by him and his team throughout the years.
Beckham also expressed appreciation towards his family, saying that they were "my biggest inspiration." The England football captain, known for his skill on the pitch and high-profile marriages, has been recognized with numerous accolades throughout his career. However, this knighthood marks a special milestone in his illustrious career as a sportsman.
He went on to express how he feels humbled by the recognition received from the King himself. "I don't know what I would have done without my family and friends who have supported me every step of the way," Beckham said, visibly choked with emotion.

he talks about how grateful he is to his fam & fans, its super sweet 2 c him get all emotional n stuff 
i mean we all know he's a legend on the pitch, but to be recognized by the king himself is just wow! he's literally getting old rn, but still slaying the game 
i'm lowkey jealous of his fam tho, they must b super proud 2 have such an awesome son 
Just thought about Sir David Beckham getting a knighthood and I'm like wow he's been through so much already, from playing in the Premier League to becoming a global icon 
. You know what's crazy is how humble he seems despite all his achievements, it's really inspiring to see someone who's had such an incredible career stay grounded 
. And can we talk about his family for a sec? They're literally the real MVPs 
, I mean the guy's had some high-profile relationships but at the end of the day they're what keep him going, no doubt about it 
.
just thinking about Sir David Beckham getting knighted is giving me all the feels lol, i mean its so cool that he got to meet the King at Windsor Castle 
and it's even more amazing that he's being recognized for his charity work & sports development skills 
. I'm sure it was a really emotional moment for him, especially since he's been in the public eye for most of his life 
. his speech sounded so heartfelt, love how he gave credit to his family and fans who have supported him throughout the years 
, now i want to be just like him when i grow up (just kidding kinda)
. It's amazing how far he's come from being a young footballer to becoming a legend and now a knight 
. I'm sure his family is super proud of him too 
! 
but fair play to him, he's done alright for himself in charity work and all that 
he's already a legend on pitch anyway... but i guess receiving that recognition from king is huge milestone in his career 
anyway i feel bad for him when he said his family was his biggest inspiration 
. His humility is what makes this even more special, not many people would stay so grounded after achieving something like this
