Football legend David Beckham was recently seen for the first time since his son Brooklyn blocked his entire family on Instagram via Daily Mail.
On Monday, the former footballer attended Stone Roses legend Gary ‘Mani’ Mounfield’s funeral with his former Manchester United teammate Gary Neville. This comes after a difficult weekend which saw his son Cruz claim that Brooklyn had blocked his family as their feud escalated to a boiling point.
Cruz wrote the following in a post after reports floated that David and Victoria had unfollowed their son: ‘My mum and dad would never unfollow their son [as reports had suggested]. They woke up blocked. As did I.’

On Monday David headed to the funeral – alongside a sea of other famous faces – and understandably looked downcast.
The ceremony at Manchester Cathedral saw guests arriving, including Stone Roses singer Ian Brown and Paul Weller, while David and Gary, legends of Mani’s beloved Manchester United, also attended.
Mounfield passed away in his sleep aged 63 at his home in Stockport of ‘respiratory issues’ after having the lung condition emphysema, it was revealed last week. He died on November 20 after collapsing following a seizure, with family sources saying an ambulance was called, but he could not be revived.
David’s appearance at the funeral comes after the Beckham family feud escalated to new heights over the weekend as Cruz claimed his brother Brooklyn had blocked their entire family on Instagram.
It had first been reported that David and Victoria had stopped following their oldest son, before Cruz, 20, furiously set the record straight. The claims of the very sudden blocking sparked the obvious question of why he would do such a thing.
And it’s now possible that Brooklyn suddenly cut final ties with his parents and three siblings after Victoria liked a post of his about roasting a chicken.
Brooklyn will be spending Christmas in the US with his wife Nicola Peltz – who no longer follows the Beckhams – and her family.
