DAVID BECKHAM was among the mourners at Fryksande church in the Swedish town of Torsby today for the funeral of former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson.

Captain of the team during Eriksson’s spell in charge between 2001 and 2006, Beckham was joined by Eriksson’s former partner Nancy Dell’Olio, with whom the Swede was in a relationship during his time with England.

The church service, which included sung renditions of Elton John’s Candle in the Wind and Frank Sinatra’s My Way accompanied on piano, began at just after 10am local time and lasted around an hour.
