QUIRKY WORLD ... David Beckham scores with hot beverage for patient

ENGLAND: David Beckham surprised a paramedic and her elderly patient with a hot cup of tea and coffee when he spotted them in the cold waiting for an ambulance.

Senior paramedic Catherine Maynard had been called out to help a pensioner who had fallen near Endsleigh Street in central London.

Ms Maynard, who works with London Ambulance Service’s cycle response unit, said: “We were both very amused, and flattered. It was awful cycling around in the cold and I couldn’t believe it when he came back with some hot drinks — I was so chuffed.” Beckham even stopped to pose for a picture with Ms Maynard.
