    Now I'm not knocking the lad I'm sure he does more for others than most of the Sirs. But a chap on tv last night had volunteered for the samaratens for over 50 years did he get anything?

    Surely a bank holiday should be ordered so that the whole country can celebrate and give thanks for all that has been done for the country by "the People's Knight!"

    Well deserved. Represented his country more than most, raised millions through his charity work and is an environmentalist trying to help the planet alongside King Charles.

    Least he will be happy now hes got what he always aimed for. Those giving him a knighthood must have forgotten about the leaked emails he sent years ago slagging the committee for not making him a Sir

    The best way to try and change Saudi Arabia for the better is by being involved with them. Take World Wrestling Entertainment as an example. They have been putting on shows there now for quite a few years. If you compare the first few to now, they are much more liberal than they were. They have a lot more work to do, but there are many other countries to worry about more.

    He helped bring the Olympics to London as well.

    Bottom line is that the honours system is repugnant and should be scrapped.

    WWE didn't partner up with Saudi Arabia to try and change their beliefs and the culture, lets not kid ourselves.

    They partnered up with them to increase their revenue and fatten up the bottom line.

    For services to vanity and self promotion? Adhering to royal queues to observe a dead monarch?

    Odd how Meghan Merkle gets incredible amounts of grief for her self promotion, yet 'Sir' Beckham gets lauded. Can't think why that is.

    I see the saudi sportswashing is successful in painting them in a positive way to the morons of the world.

    If we’re talking knighthoods in the sporting field then it should be Kev Sinfield before anybody.

    Isn’t there a number of years (2 maybe?) required between honours? I can’t remember the details now but i’m sure i remember that being the case.

    I don't think he can get one at the moment because there's some kind of time limit from getting an OBE/MBE before receiving a knighthood.
