CHARLOTTE DEAN FROM DAILY MAIL

David Beckham cut a suava figure at the 55th annual World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland, where he was honoured for his humanitarian work on Monday.

The former footballer, 49, who has been a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador for 20 years, received the Crystal Award for his ongoing commitment to improving the living conditions of young children.

David looked typically dapper in a striped blue shirt and knitted tie, which he wore with a charcoal double breasted suit and smart dress shoes.

The World Economic Forum annual meeting brings together entrepreneurs, scientists, and corporate and political leaders.

While accepting his award, David made a passionate speech about girls’ rights as he took to the stage at the ceremony.
