DAVID Beckham has arrived for Sven-Goran Eriksson’s funeral – with the former England captain set to lead mourners.
Sven’s dad – also named Sven, his children Johan and Lina, and partner Yaniseth Alcides have also been pictured arriving ahead of the service in his home town of Torsby, Sweden.
Becks, 49, was the Swedish coach’s captain during their Three Lions heyday and has flown to pay tribute in person.
A coffin has been seen being carried into Fryksande church, with a big screen outside projecting an image of Sven ahead of the service.
His former longtime lover Nancy Dell’olio, 63, will also join hundreds of mourners at a colourful funeral procession staged to celebrate the soccer legend’s life.
A source told The Sun: “David will be going to the funeral – he was very close to Sven and wants to say goodbye in person.
“It will be a low key appearance – he won’t be giving a eulogy or saying any words but will definitely be there.”
Sven succumbed to pancreatic cancer on August 26.
