The 50-year-old was joined by his wife Victoria, 51, and she has agreed to adopt a new title following Tuesday's ceremony.

Lady Beckham shared a gushing tribute to her husband following his knighthood.
She took to social media to upload an image of her planting a kiss on his cheek, accompanied with the caption: "You’ve always been my knight in shining armour, but now it’s official. Sir @davidbeckham!!!
"What an honour, I couldn’t be prouder of you. Your dedication to the things that matter most - your country, your work, your passion, and most of all, your family - has never wavered.

"The way you’ve touched so many lives over the years with kindness and humility speaks volumes about the man you are and continues to inspire us everyday. But above all else, I’m so, so proud to call you mine. I love you so much xxx."

He called it a 'very proud' day for him and his family.
"It's a very proud day for us as a family," the ex-Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan star said.
"I grew up in the east end of London in a very humble family. My dream was always to become a professional footballer - play for my country, play for Manchester United."
He added: "Everything else that has come with that has been incredible but to be honoured by the most important and respected institution in the world is a very proud day.

"The monarchy has always been very important in my family. To be here to receive a knighthood by His Majesty the King is pretty surreal."
