Along with Beckham, the lead singer of the famous rock band The Who is also Roger Dalterry, Oscar winner Gary Oldman and others.
In an interview, Beckham said: “When I grew up in the East End, my parents and grandparents were very patriotic and proud to be British, and I never thought I could have such honors. Playing on behalf of the national team and being captain was the greatest honor of my career and a literal childhood dream come true.”
“I was lucky to represent the British image around the world and to support the difficult community and inspire the next generation to become successful. I have worked together in an outstanding organization. It is a blessing to be able to do my current job. This career has brought me great satisfaction and I am even more grateful for my recognition. This news takes time to digest. I am extremely proud to be able to share this emotional moment with my family. “
Beckham was nominated for the first time in 2010, but because he was involved in a tax avoidance incident, he was rejected by the tax department and his nomination was rejected by the Medal Commission. In 2021, the tax department clarified Beckham’s innocence and opened the door to him for this honor.
