The Beckhams were in the line of people waiting to see the Queen's coffin.
The soccer player joined the queue at 2 a.m. on Friday.
The public can visit the Queen's coffin until Monday.
David Beckham was among the long line of people waiting to pay respects to Queen Elizabeth II.
The soccer player told the broadcasters that he was a huge fan of the royal family and wanted to pay his respects to the Queen. The casket of the monarch, who died aged 96 on September 8, was brought there from Buckingham Palace on Wednesday and will stay until her funeral on Monday.
Beckham said he thought he could avoid crowds if he joined the queue at 2 a.m.
It was going to be quieter when I arrived at 2 a.m. He said that he was incorrect. Everyone had that in mind.
People are all over the place. An elderly woman was walking around. The 90-year-old man was walking. Everyone wants to be a part of this experience and celebrate what Her Majesty has done.
There are photos of Beckham that have been shared on the social networking site. Christopher Anstee shared a picture of Beckham wearing a formal suit, black tie, and flat cap while taking a selfies with him.
