England football legend David Beckham was knighted by King Charles III at Windsor Castle on November 4, calling it his "proudest moment". 

Beckham, 50, received the honour for his services to football and British society, as well as his long-standing charity work. 

Dressed in a tailored three-piece grey suit designed by his wife, Victoria Beckham, he attended the ceremony with her and his parents, Ted and Sandra Beckham.

"It's quite a moment for a boy from the East End of London to be here at Windsor Castle, being honoured by His Majesty the King, the most important and the most respected institution in the world," Beckham said. "This is without doubt my proudest moment."
