David and Victoria Beckham will host a special Jubilee lunch for inspirational individuals as part of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

The A-list couple, who were busy facing off in a planking competition earlier this week, will celebrate people who have made incredible contributions to their communities.

The Beckhams’ Big Jubilee Lunch will air as part of the Platinum Pageant on BBC One on Sunday June 5.

In a post shared to Instagram on Thursday, David, 47, hailed the Queen’s reign as ‘remarkable’, writing: ‘Today, we celebrate our Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. 70 years of service and inspirational leadership of our country.

‘Let’s come together and commemorate her remarkable reign with a great British party these next few days.’

David was made an OBE by the Queen in 2003 for services to football. Victoria and two of the couple’s sons, Brooklyn and Romeo, as well as David’s grandparents, were in attendance to see him accept the honour.
