David Beckham celebrates Bonfire Night in style as he lights sparklers in his garden

David Beckham still managed to celebrate Bonfire Night despite the nationwide lockdown as he took to Instagram to share a glimpse of his celebration on Thursday.

The former footballer, 45, opted for a low-key celebration given the current crisis by lighting sparklers in his garden, with son Cruz, 15, also sharing a snap on social media.

Firework displays and public bonfires across the UK were sadly cancelled as the UK plunged into a month-long lockdown, which is currently set to end on December 2nd.

David shared a selfie of his sparkler as he and his family celebrated Bonfire Night in the garden.

He penned the caption: ‘Tonight’s a slightly different firework night but at least we have sparklers.’

Cruz also shared an image of his sparkler as the famous family came together for the November celebration.    

It comes after David spoke endearingly about his grandparents ahead of Remembrance Day.

Visiting the Chelsea Pensioners in London this week, to support the Poppy Appeal, David, 45, recounted what the annual occasion means to him.

His grandfather Joseph West – who fought in the Second World War – instilled the ethos of Remembrance Day into a young David when he was a child.

He told The Sun: ‘Remembrance Day is always special to me because my grandfather was in the Scots Guards and it was always a big deal in our household,’ ‘When the poppies came out my granddad was the first to get us all one.

‘He would say, “There’s your poppy. Wear it to school.” It was a really exciting moment. It is so important we remember the sacrifice that our Armed Forces have made for us, as individuals, as families, and as a country.’

David – who shares children Brooklyn, 21, Romeo, 18, Cruz and Harper, nine, with wife Victoria, 46 – added: ‘I want to pass it on to my kids and I hope they will pass it on to their kids.’
