Victoria Beckham has remembered Queen Elizabeth as "a powerful source of inspiration" for "so many". The 48-year-old fashion designer has paid a touching tribute to the late monarch - who died aged 96 on September 8 - ahead of her state funeral on Monday morning (19.

09. 22), hailing Britain's longest-serving sovereign the "ultimate icon". She wrote alongside photographs of Her Majesty on Instagram: “I’ve spent the last week reflecting on the loss of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth and how she was a powerful source of inspiration, not just for me but for so many around the world. “The ultimate icon in every way and the epitome of elegance, she will live on in our hearts and minds forever. “I offer my deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolences to the royal family at this time, and we join them in mourning the loss of our beloved sovereign. " The Spice Girl - who was nicknamed Posh Spice in the girl group - said meeting the queen at The Royal Command Performance in 1997 with her bandmates - Geri Horner, Mel B, Emma Bunton and Melanie C - was "one of her proudest moments" on her Instagram Story.

Victoria's retired soccer ace husband David Beckham queued for 13 hours to pay his respects to the late royal lying in state at Westminster Hall last week.

The 47-year-old sporting legend admitted he had mistakenly thought joining the line at 2am on Friday (16. 09. 22) morning would mean a shorter wait.
