David Beckhamwaited 12 hours in line on Friday to pay his respects toQueen ElizabethII, along with thousands of other mourners.
Young asked Beckham how he was feeling after the emotional week. “We’re all going through this,” he replied. “To be honest, it’s what we all envisioned. We all want to be here together,” said Beckham.
“We all want to experience something where we celebrate the amazing life of our queen and I think something like this today is meant to be share together. The fact that we’ve been here, we’re eating Pringles, we’re eating sherbert lemons, we’re eating sandwiches, having coffee, donuts.”
Beckham continued, “This day was always going to be difficult, and it’s difficult for the nation, it’s difficult for everyone around the world, because I think everyone is feeling it, and our thoughts are with the family and obviously with everybody here today.”
