David Beckham honors 'National Treasure' Sir David Attenborough in touching post

As tributes poured in honor of Sir David Attenborough's milestone birthday, David Beckham also shared a heartfelt tribute.

​The former footballer took to his Instagram account on Friday, May 8 and posted a sweet birthday wish for the "Voice of Nature" Sir Attenborough’s 100th birthday.

​In the honorary post, David shared three snaps of the British broadcaster known for his more than seven decades of career documenting the natural world.

​Beckham penned, "Happy 100th Birthday to our National Treasure @davidattenborough."

​The carousel began with the first picture of Attenborough, posing on the front door of a Jeep while holding a pair of binoculars in his hands.

​In the second and third slides, the nature conservationist was seen close to Mother Nature while interacting with animals in the wild.

​For those unversed, Sir David shared the stories of the world's ecosystems via the BBC "Life" series with Life on Earth, The Living Planet, Blue Planet, and Planet Earth.

​​He was also recognized as a Knight twice by the royal family, first by Queen Elizabeth II in 1985 and then by King Charles III, who honored him in 2022 for his work in broadcasting and conservation.

​David Beckham was also awarded the knighthood for his services to sport and charity by King Charles III on November 4, 2025, and "Sir" was officially added to his name.
