David Beckham fans recently camped throughout the night in high winds and pouring rain so they could spend a few seconds with their idol, according to reports.
According to the Daily Star, a security guard at the event said that it is fair to say that they were in a bit of a state when they eventually got to see him.
Becksmania hit Waterstones book store in central London when the ex-England captain signed copies of his book, the report said.
Only the first 500 got to meet the ex-Manchester United and Real Madrid star, and hardcore fans were taking no chances, the report added.

Becks spent four hours shaking hands and posing for photos as he signed copies of his new book about his career, the report mentioned.
