David Beckham and his mother Sandra snapped a sweet selfie during their annual day out at Wimbledon in the Royal Box on Monday.
The former professional footballer, 51, and his mum, 77, were among the star-studded guests invited to sit in the prestigious box on day one of the competition.
After their day out at the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club, David posted a selection of photos including one of him and Sandra in front of Centre Court.
They were sat beside Mary Berry, 91, who was seen laughing and chatting with the Beckhams as David joked they were ‘talking about his baking skills’.
Mary and Sandra appeared to be getting along famously as they affectionately held hands while posing for a picture with David after the game.
During the day there were three matches on the court, where Jannik Sinner defeated Miomir Kecmanović and Aryna Sabalenka defeated Teodora Kostović.

The mother and son were also snapped taking part in a Mexican wave as they got into the Wimbledon spirit during a break between matches.
The star, who caught a flight home after watching England’s World Cup match in New Jersey on Saturday, looked dapper in a grey BOSS suit.
Other notable names in the box included Debbie Jevans, with Mark Rylance, Alexandra Armstrong and Katherine Jenkins in the row behind.
The Beckhams’ invite to the Royal Box wasn’t extended to David’s son Romeo and his girlfriend Kim Turnbull though.
Tennis superfan Romeo and his girlfriend were also spotted making their SW19 arrival, but had to settle for the cheap seats.
Romeo looked suave in a brown suit with a white T-shirt whilst Kim sported a glam white dress.

Katherine’s position behind David could have been a potentially awkward affair after he previously slated her in a leaked email about his failure to obtain an OBE.
Katherine was reunited with David nine years after their OBE feud came to light as she joined her husband Andrew Levitas at the event.
After being sat in a similar position last year, she once again she found herself seated feet away from David, but didn’t interact with him.
In a series of leaked emails published in 2017, David was alleged to have slammed Katherine and questioned why she was awarded an OBE amid his own failure to secure a knighthood.
One email was alleged to have said: ‘Katherine Jenkins OBE for what? Singing at the rugby and going to see the troops plus taking coke. F****** joke.’
The opera star was awarded an OBE in 2014, for services to various charities and her travelling to war zones to entertain the troops. Sir David was formally knighted by King Charles III in recognition of his services to sport and charity in November 2025.
The hacked emails also suggested allegations surrounding his stance on the Scottish referendum and investing in loss-making companies to reduce his tax bill.
Sir David’s representatives dismissed the claims at the time, stating that the emails had been ‘hacked and doctored’ from a private account.

A spokesperson said: ‘This story is based on outdated material taken out of context from hacked and doctored private emails from a third party server and gives a deliberately inaccurate picture.’
Katherine and Sir David had allegedly been at odds years earlier, when she took to Twitter in 2012 to deny internet rumours that they’d had an affair, a decision which reportedly left the England star utterly furious.
In 2018, Katherine claimed she was still waiting for an apology from the sports star for the alleged comments he made in the leaked emails.
Speaking about the shock comments Sir David made towards her, Katherine admitted she has no reason to feel anything but proud of her achievements.
She explained: ‘You’re just minding your own business and you get caught up in this massive storm. You just think, “Aw, I wasn’t doing anything”. To get caught up in that wasn’t pleasant. I don’t know why, again, that was aimed at me.’
‘I also don’t feel the need to defend this, by the way. I know what I’ve done and when I got the OBE it was given to me for music, and for charity.’
When asked whether she was angry with Sir David for his alleged comments, Katherine added: ‘It’s obviously disappointing. I’ve never heard anything from them about it.’
Elsewhere at Wimbledon, the stars were out in glamorous force, with TV presenters Tess Daly and Amanda Holden, and Irish reality-star Maura Higgins and more glamming up.
