The 50-year-old was seemingly in high spirits for his day out at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club with his mother, Sandra Beckham, 76.
“Tradition with Mum, day one of Wimbledon. Nothing better,” Sir David captioned an Instagram selfie.

The Manchester United legend and his mum were spotted in the stands chatting with former English football manager Sir Gareth Southgate.
Both were recently awarded knighthoods from King Charles III as part of his King’s Birthday Honours list.
It comes after Victoria Beckham posted several photos to her Instagram last week that revealed his recent hospital trip.
One photo showed the soccer legend lying in a hospital bed with his arm in a blue sling, while another showed him recovering at home.
“Get well soon Daddy,” Victoria captioned the post.
It is believed the hospital visit was for wrist surgery to repair issues relating to a soccer injury from the past.
Sir David and his mum have been regular features in the stands at Wimbledon events over the years.
The pair have kept the tradition up for over a decade, only missing a few tournaments including the 2020 tournament which was cancelled due to COVID-19.
