Former Spice Girls singer Victoria Beckham has said she "could not be prouder" of her husband David Beckham after he was given a knighthood in the King of England's Birthday Honours.
The retired footballer, who played for England 115 times, was honoured for his services to sport and charity.
He married Victoria Adams, also known as Posh Spice, in 1999 and the pair share four children together, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper.
In a post shared on Saturday on Instagram, Victoria Beckham said: "You’ve always been my knight in shining armour, but now it’s official. Sir @davidbeckham!!!
"What an honour, I couldn’t be prouder of you. Your dedication to the things that matter most - your country, your work, your passion, and most of all, your family — has never wavered.
"The way you’ve touched so many lives over the years with kindness and humility speaks volumes about the man you are and continues to inspire us everyday.
"But above all else, I’m so, so proud to call you mine. I love you so much xxxx."
The football star, who was formerly appointed an officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 2003, responded to the post by expressing his love for his family, mentioning each of his children and adding "I love you all".
