David Beckham has been praised by his family as well as fans after queuing for 14 hours to pay his respects to The Queen as she is Lying-in-State in Westminster Hall. The legendary footballer, 47, who has played for the England national team, didn't use his celebrity status to fast-track the queue of thousands of people waiting to pay their respects to the late Queen.
He's earned himself plenty of praise for his humility, and his second-eldest son Romeo, 20, has reposted an Instagram video posted by Sky Sports in which David is seen talking to people in the queue.

One woman in the queue said to him: "You could have been fast-tracked but you've come to pay your respects like everyone else." He replied: "Well, we all want to celebrate our Queen, Her Majesty". People were quick to comment on the video, with one person saying: "What a legend he is".
Another wrote: "Fair play and my respect for joining the queue and paying his respects." Someone else commented: "Mad respect for respecting the queue". David's son Romeo was clearly proud of his dad as he then posted a collage of photos including one of the Queen's coffin Lying-in-State, one of David smiling in his baker boy cap as he queued and one of him without his cap as he looked visibly emotional once inside the ancient hall. People in the queue were naturally
