A sombre looking David Beckham arrived at Golders Green Crematorium in North London earlier today for his grandfather’s funeral.

The footballer appeared red-eyed as he made his way into Crematorium, with his wife Victoria in tow, to say goodbye to his grandfather Joe West, 83, who died last Wednesday following a serious illness.

David was said to be extremely close to Joe and often cited him as his inspiration for getting into football.

He appeared 'red eyed'? He's burying his father. How do you expect him to look? And this is very disrespectful. His Father wasn't famous and deserves to be buried in peace!

David is 1/4 Jewish - his heritage inspired his hebrew tattoos.

hello Amy, i'm a pap and i was there taking pictures, you might find this disrespectful but when you're as famous as David Beckham you accept that every aspect of your life is open to the media sad as it may be - the Beckhams security asked us to stay on one side of the street, not use our flashes and not follow the cars when they left, so we all did precisely that. Nothing disrespectful here - it's called media, news, life etc its how things work.

Actually, I think you'll find that the media was originally set up to relay information of public interest to the country. Pictures of a celebrity at a family members funeral should not be acceptably published under the guise of public interest.

Davids sorrow is plain to see! Remove these photos out of respect please for him and his family. Famous people deserve some respect at such a sad time and showing theses photos is terrible!!!!
