00:00Nights Bachelor, to receive the honour of knighthood, Sir David Beckham, for services to sport and to charity.
00:28I've been lucky to have won things in my career and done things and played for my country and capped
00:33in my country,
00:34but without doubt this is the moment that makes me very proud.
00:38The monarchy has always been very important in our family, my grandparents, my parents, myself, my kids.
00:46The royal family have always played a huge role, I've always had a huge respect for our royal family,
00:54especially when I get to travel around the world, because people want to talk to me about our royal family
01:00and that shows how much respect people have and to be here today, to receive a knighthood by His Majesty
01:07the King, it's pretty surreal.
01:10I was just hoping that I would get it all right, because obviously you get walked through it and told
01:15what the protocol is
01:17and then obviously to see His Majesty the King stood there and receiving me and being as elegant as he
01:28always is
01:28and charming as he always is, it was such a special moment.
01:38Your family have a great sense of humour, have they been calling you Sir David at home?
01:42Are you insisting on any different ways of being referred to?
01:45I'm not insisting, if they would like to call me Sir Dad or Sir Son, they can, but no, it's
01:54going to take some getting used to,
01:56people saying it, but no, it's just a huge honour.
