On September 16, local time, in Westminster Hall, there appeared a figure that may be familiar to everyone around the world, former England international David Beckham.
When the camera shines on him, the influential "megaloman" who is still quite influential even after retiring is looking down and sobbing, and it is clear that the departure of Queen Elizabeth II has deeply saddened him.
As he approached the queen's coffin, tears slid out of the corners of Bob's eyes, which he wiped away with his hand.
After walking to the front of the queen's coffin, Xiao Bai solemnly nodded his head and saluted to express his final respect to the queen, and this scene also touched many fans and praised him as a real British gentleman.
From the clothes XiaoBei wore, he could also feel that he was taking it very seriously, just as when the Queen was alive, when he went to Buckingham Palace to meet him.
The 47-year-old Beckham was able to enter Westminster Hall, but also completely by his own physical strength, although he could only stop for a few seconds in front of the queen's coffin, but it was also a 13-hour queue to get it.
This is the way XiaoBei stood in the line, although wearing a newsboy hat and keeping a low profile as much as possible, he was still recognized. For this reason, many people also shared their excitement about seeing Beckham in line on social media, "David Beckham came alone, queued for more than ten hours, everyone can recognize him, which is too bold." 」 Another posted, "The queue is now so full of people who want to shoot David Beckham that they've forgotten to move on."
According to the Daily Mail, Xiaobei also bought a box of donuts in the middle of the queue and shared it with the people next to him.
How could XiaoBei not attract the attention of the media when he appeared, and he was interviewed in Victoria Park in London.
"I thought there would be fewer people coming at 2 a.m. ... "Everybody has that idea, everybody wants to come here and be part of this experience, thanks to the Queen for all that she did for us," says Bobby. It is reported that the stars finally entered westminster hall around 3:30 p.m.
Xiao Bei said that she came to pay tribute to the queen on behalf of the whole family, "I am very lucky that I have come face to face with the queen, she is so special... It was a sad day, but we should also remember that she left an incredible legacy before leaving."
As one of England's best stars, David Beckham has been given several opportunities to meet the Queen, and in 2003 he was awarded the Order of the Officers (Grade 4 of the Order of the British Empire, obe known as OBE).
On the other hand, although XiaoBei has not been able to be knighted as he wished, his reverence for the royal family is overflowing with words, and whenever the royal family has a big event, he always posts on social media.
When the line became narrow when it was almost time to reach the destination, Xiaobei was also given special attention, and a group of police officers opened the way for him to prevent the other queues from taking a group photo request to avoid confusion.
Although Xiaobei said in an interview that he did not mind the fans' request for the same frame, he also admitted that he was repeatedly reprimanded by the management of the scene because he stopped.
It is estimated that this policeman is also a fan of Xiaobei, and he smiled brightly when "protecting" Xiaobei, and also revealed the eyes of "fan brother".
Although XiaoBei expressed his heartfelt respect to the queen as he wished after a long wait, he also missed a more solemn ceremony that night because he had to leave a few hours early.
The Queen's four children, Charles III, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward, appeared in Westminster Hall after 7:30 p.m. that night for a 10-minute vigil for their mother. And because of the arrival and departure of the princes and princesses, the team also had to pause the movement.
