More than received honours in the latest list, but the ex-England captain was not one of them.
Actor Stephen Fry, former England manager Gareth Southgate and London mayor Sadiq Khan were among those knighted.

Mr Beckham received an OBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List in 2003 and has not received another title since.
This year, the highest award went to Nobel Prize-winning novelist Sir Kazuo Ishiguro, who was made a Companion of Honour for services to literature.
Honours were given to a host of Team GB athletes, including runner Keely Hodgkinson, who was named the 2024 Sports Personality of the Year, and mountain biker Tom Pidcock, after the Paris Olympics.
There were also honours for those who campaigned on behalf of wrongfully convicted subpostmasters, after the Horizon IT scandal.
The football figure honoured this year was Gareth Southgate – England’s former manager who resigned earlier in the summer.
