The celebrations continue for Sir David Beckham.
A day after King Charles knighted the soccer legend, 50, at an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle, the former athlete's wife, Victoria Beckham, shared videos of David lighting backyard fireworks.
In the Instagram Stories clips, David can be seen standing behind a table as a firework lights up.

After someone can be heard telling the former Manchester United star to make sure it does not light up a nearby firework, David approaches the fireworks, only to quickly run off when a thick cloud of smoke billows from it after it explodes.
Victoria, 51, who warned David not to get too close to the fireworks, wrote "Careful!!" over the video.
Narrowly escaping the fireworks didn't faze David, however, as he was seen standing near a firework once again in Victoria's second clip.
"This one's going to be good," someone said in the background as the fireworks created various sparks.
"Are you all right, babe? Are you all right?" a concerned Victoria asked.
"That was great," David responded with excitement.

The Inter-Miami CF owner appeared to get more comfortable with the fireworks as he attentively watched another firework light up from a close distance in Victoria's third clip.
"This is how the Beckhams do firework night," Victoria wrote over the video.
David was knighted for his “services to sport and charity" on Tuesday, Nov. 4. The honor came more than two decades after he was appointed an officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 2003.
