England football legend Sir David Beckham will be among those honoured on Tuesday when he is knighted at Windsor Castle.

The former Real Madrid and Manchester United star will be knighted for his services to sport and charity.

The 50-year-old, from north-east London, made his Premier League debut for the Red Devils in 1995 and scored 85 goals for United during his time in Manchester.

Earlier this year, Sir David said he was “incredibly proud” to be named in the King’s Birthday Honours.

He has also become known for his style, being named the most stylish man of 1998 by GQ magazine and has modelled for H&M, Armani and Boss.

Beckham describes himself as a “fanatical royalist” and is named after the King’s Foundation, an educational charity founded by the monarch in 1990.

He will be joined on Tuesday by a host of others, including Nobel Prize-winning novelist Sir Kazuo Ishiguro and West End performer Dame Elaine Page.

She has also starred in Cats, Chess, Piaf and Sunset Boulevard, and most recently appeared in pantomimes at The London Palladium.

In addition to her theatre work, she supports a number of charities, including The Children’s Trust, the Royal Voluntary Service and the Dan Maskell Tennis Trust, of which she has been president since 2010.
