Brooklyn Peltz Beckham has taken a moment to honor Queen Elizabeth.

On Monday, as mourners around the world watched the funeral of the late monarch, the son of David and Victoria Beckham shared a beautiful tribute along with photos of her throughout her reign.

"There are no words to express my sadness at the loss of our esteemed Monarch, Her Majesty The Queen. Collectively, as a nation, we can only hope to show the world what she has shown us with her leadership and grace," he wrote on Instagram.

"It is our duty as the people of Great Britain to carry on her legacy within each of us, in all of our actions and how we live our lives. Amidst the sadness, we have to remember that this is also a time to celebrate all that she did for us. We will be forever grateful. Rest In Peace, Queen Elizabeth."

The Beckham family has enjoyed a close bond with the British royal family over the years, with David and Victoria attending the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, as well as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
