Medals only with uniforms, Becks, or at the annual OBE service.

He probably thought the security wouldn't allow him in otherwise Wink

YABU he is proud of it and rightly so - perfect occasion methinks.

If I had OBE insignia I'd wear it with everything.

My DS2 wondered why the Queen wasn't wearing her gold blue peter badge. I think he had a point.

You can wear medals/decorations during daytime events such as weddings (normally it would be specified on the invitation).

So he may have been correct to wear it (though I didn't clock anyone else wearing any, except those in uniform).

But it does strike me as wrong to wear it on the right, as that is the side where widow/ers (or sometimes other near relatives) wear the medals of a deceased holder.

Military medals certainly only with uniforms, but do the same rules apply to OBEs? Not sure.

Does this mean he can wear it with his LA Galaxy uniform? Grin

He's David Beckham. He can do what the fuck he likes TBF.
