Sir David Beckham has shared a touching Remembrance Sunday post after receiving his knighthood.
The former footballer, 50, lead the stars sharing their own tributes on Remembrance Sunday alongside Vicky Pattison and Amanda Holden.
Remembrance Sunday remembers British and Commonwealth military and civilian servicemen and women in the World Wars and later conflicts.
Taking to Instagram, Sir David shared a stock picture of a Beefeater surrounded by poppies.
He wrote: ‘This Remembrance Sunday, I’m thinking about those who sacrificed so much for our freedom.
‘We must give thanks to our Armed Forces and the men and women who risk their own lives to protect others every day. I am also thinking of those living in fear and danger in areas of conflict around the world. #LestWeForget❤️.’

Elsewhere on Sunday, Vicky also shared a tribute as she wrote: ‘When you go home, tell them of us and say, For your tomorrow we have our today.
‘We remember. @lucyclaireillustration.’
Meanwhile Amanda shared a picture of a bench adorned with poppies and wrote: ‘Lest we forget…’
Katie Piper was another star to share a tribute, as she took to her Instagram Story and posted a quote.
It read: ‘At the going down of the sun and in the morning. We shall remember them.’
Other celebrities who shared tributes included Bear Grylls, who is a former SAS trooper, Tess Daly, Vernon Kay and Kate Lawler.
Sir David was made a knight of the British empire for services to sport and charity during Tuesday’s investiture, notably his impact on football over a twenty year period and subsequent ambassadorial role with UNICEF.
The former footballer was welcomed by King Charles while receiving his knighthood at Windsor Castle for services to sport and charity, and his younger sons were among the first to offer their congratulations.

A source close to the family revealed to the Daily Mail that family friend Gordon was delighted to host the dinner party as his gift to his best pal in London on Tuesday.
‘As David’s best friend, Gordon decided the best gift was to throw him a wonderful dinner,’ an insider spilled.
‘David was there, their kids, his sisters, parents and Victoria’s mum and dad.’
The couple were joined by three of their four children – Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14, as well as David and Victoria’s extended family.
Their eldest son Brooklyn, 26, and his wife Nicola, 30, snubbed the festivities and have failed to acknowledge David’s achievement on social media.
Their silence is just the latest slight after months of family feuding.
When it was announced his father was to be knighted back in the spring, Brooklyn didn’t congratulate him either publicly or privately, while his other two sons made a huge fuss of the news on social media.
Brooklyn is said to have become increasingly estranged from the family after failing to attend any of his father’s 50th birthday celebrations in May.

Nicola Peltz meanwhile posted a pointed video of carefree Brooklyn after he was blasted by fans for missing his father’s knighthood.
The couple remained silent following David’s knighthood on Tuesday, but two days later, Nicola took to her social media to share a video of her husband, writing: ‘the vibe he brings to the function’… after he decided not to attend his father’s celebrations.
The clip, which was originally posted by Brooklyn’s hot sauce company Cloud 23, sees him boast a carefree attitude as he holds two bottles of the sauce.
Wearing black trousers, a grey zip hoodie and a cap on backwards, he strolled down a street in New York City for the 12-second promotional video.
While Brooklyn snubbed the milestone on his social media, sources have said he also ‘did not reach out to congratulate’ his dad privately.
Fans flooded Brooklyn’s accounts with comments urging him to ‘get in touch’ with his family before he ‘regrets’ missing any more family milestones.
