Or where is David should I say?
Someone will probably prove me wrong but I can honestly say I've not seen any TV coverage of him at any of the events.
I'm sure theyr'e there somewhere but the Beeb certainly aren't going OTT in showing their faces on the box.
Strange when you come to think of it, knowing how the media love showing off a bit of 'demorange of glitterati' once in a while.

    I'm not sure JT, but I'm pretty certain he'd be here in London even if he was.

    No, he wouldn't.

    He said it was a lot of effort for him to come back and forth for the build up to the ceremony, where he had a big part to play. No need for him to be here probably until the Closing.

    he was for the opening ceremony, maybe he's keeping a low profile so as to let others have the spotlight

    Did he play?

    This is a problem?

    Anyway it's the OBS who is doing the filming, the BBC just broadcasts what they are fed, they are not doing the filming.

    Spice Girls rumoured to be 'performing' at Closing Ceremony so maybe Victoria is taking singing lessons.

    Ermm BFR....I honestly don't give a damn whether he's shown/there or not....just thought it strange that after he was seen as one of the main movers and shakers in winning the Olympic bid that he's been conspicuous in his absence......speaking for myself, I couldn't care less but am just aware that it's the case and thought it a bit strange.

    Saw him & 3 sons at wembley in the UAE game, so the cameras weren't covering him even when Prince William was in the next seat... He wasn't covered too.

    They are only there for the interviews, presenters etc but are not allowed to show the action.

    I assume this thread would instead be complaining if he was on tv all over the shop.

    And yes, he played for LA the other day, setting up Galaxy's only goal in 5-1 thrashing .

    actually quite amazing how well known Becks is over here in probably the biggest 'soccer' backwater in the Western world....although the impending MLS arrival of Lloyd Sam might change all that
  • He was at Wembley the other night FACT

    My brother got a pic of him next to Prince William on Facebook.

    I think Beckham is a brilliant man. Wish we had been good enough to sign him for just one season in the premiership days instead of that Rommedahl fella.

    Same here.
