Henlow student spots Becks and Posh on family day out


Student Connor Smith, 19, from Henlow, who was on a day out with his family, said: “We were keeping an eye out for him because they told us he was here, they said he was a special attraction for today.
“They were apparently trying to keep it on the down low but it didn’t really work because they were telling everyone.

“Everyone was really excited that he was there. Victoria was in another punt next to him with some other girls, I don’t know who they were.
“I didn’t seen him do any punting himself, he just looked relaxed and sat back.”
And news of the sighting left regular visitors to the city upset that they had missed him.
Ben Smith said: “David Beckham is in Cambridge whaaaa.”
