Meanwhile, David’s son Brooklyn has stayed silent about his father receiving a knighthood.
David Beckham shared that his mum has been very emotional, saying she “hasn’t stopped crying” during their recent family get-together.
The 50-year-old football icon—soon to receive a knighthood—posted on social media about spending some quality time with his mum Sandra, 76, and his sister Joanne, 43, as they enjoyed a surprisingly low-cost meal out.
It’s been an emotional few days for David Beckham since news broke on Friday that he’s set to receive a knighthood and become Sir David.
To mark the special moment, he took his mum and sister out for a celebratory lunch at Tony’s Pie & Mash shop in East London—a spot close to his heart.
Though fans might be surprised to see the multi-millionaire enjoying a meal that costs just around £6, the humble eatery is one of his longtime favorites. Beckham has often posted about his love for the classic East End dish served there.
David Beckham, his mum Sandra, and his sister Joanne gathered to celebrate the big news of David finally receiving his knighthood.
He marked the occasion by posting a photo on social media of the three of them about to enjoy a pie and mash meal—one of his favorites.
In the caption, he shared an emotional moment: “Mum cried when she arrived, cried during lunch, and cried when I was leaving. A special moment for us all. Love you, Mum.” He added a shoutout to his dad too, writing “Dad’s next,” and tagged his parents and the restaurant.
After the news broke that he’d be knighted, the former England captain reflected on Instagram, saying:
“Growing up in East London with parents and grandparents who were so patriotic and proud to be British, I never could have imagined I would receive such a truly humbling honour.”
David Beckham said that playing for and captaining England was the greatest honor of his career—a true childhood dream come true.
He added that the news of his knighthood is still sinking in, but he feels incredibly proud and deeply moved to be able to share such a meaningful moment with his family.
David Beckham was knighted for his contributions to sport and charity—something he says has brought him great fulfillment.
As a result, his wife Victoria Beckham, famously known as a Spice Girl, will now be called Lady Beckham—and she couldn’t be prouder.
Victoria shared a tender moment on social media, posting a photo of herself hugging David and kissing him on the cheek.
In a heartfelt caption, she wrote:
“You’ve always been my knight in shining armour, and now it’s official—Sir David Beckham! What an incredible honor, and I couldn’t be prouder of you.
Your commitment to what matters most—your country, your work, your passions, and above all, your family—has never faltered.
The kindness and humility you’ve shown while touching so many lives speaks volumes about who you are and continues to inspire us every day. But most importantly, I’m so proud to call you mine. I love you so much.”
Victoria wasn’t the only family member to congratulate David—his sons Romeo and Cruz also showed their support.
However, people noticed that David’s eldest son, Brooklyn, once again chose not to publicly acknowledge his father during this big moment.
