I am here on behalf of my family and I know that my grandparents would have wanted to be here so I am here on their behalf.
I was very lucky that I was able to meet her many times throughout my career.
It was something that meant so much to us and every time we did it, it was something special.
It was the proudest moment of my life when I received my award. I was fortunate that I was able to have a few moments like that in my life.
Beckham made 115 appearances for England from 1996 to 2009 and scored 17 goals for his country.
He was a six-time winner of the English premier league and a five-time winner of the Europe's top competition during his illustrious career that ended in 2013.
