13 hours in line
The soccer icon tells us he queued at 2am today and was only allowed in at 3:20pm – after 13 hours in line.
He was dressed in black – the color of mourning – and became so emotional that tears started running down his cheeks as soon as he was allowed to enter and see the coffin.
Moments like this should be shared with others. He told the BBC: “We all want to be here together and pay tribute to the wonderful life of the Queen.
– I knew this was going to be a tough day. It is heavy for the entire nation and for many around the world. Everyone feels it and you naturally think about family and relatives, according to Sky.
“lucky”
Beckham has a strong connection to the English royal family. He has received many awards over the years and has met Queen Elizabeth II on numerous occasions.
The most special thing was when I received my OBE (Officer of the Order of the British Empire) in 2003. My whole family was there and I had to ask questions and talk to Her Majesty. He says I am very lucky to have gone through such moments.
