World News : Football star Beckham also appeared in line of thousands for the last glimpse of Queen Elizabeth II

Celebrities from all over the world have slowly started arriving for the last glimpse of Queen Elizabeth II. Meanwhile, former England football captain David Beckham also reached the last glimpse of the Queen. The former Manchester United and Real Madrid star told Sky News that he was among the thousands of people heading to Westminster Hall to pay their last respects to the Queen of Britain.

Beckham, 47, was seen wearing a hat, suit and tie. Like thousands of people, he was also seen standing in the honor of the queen. The Queen, the longest-reigning British monarch, died last week at the age of 96 at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. His coffin was brought to Buckingham Palace by road and air from Scotland.

Westminster Abbey has a place for about 2000 people. For this reason only the heads of state and one or two guests have been invited to this first national funeral to be held in the UK in 6 decades. Royal families in Europe and many countries have confirmed arrival at the funeral of the world's longest-serving ruler.

It will be attended by Emperor Naruhito of Japan and Empress Masako. This will be his first foreign trip after assuming power in 2019. This would be a departure from Japanese tradition in which rulers rarely attend funerals. The royal families of Europe are closely related to the British royal family and there is also a blood relation between many families. For this reason it should come as no surprise that many rulers will attend the Queen's funeral.
