For tea's a jolly good fellow: David Beckham serves up hot brew to injured elderly man and his paramedic
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.
The former England football ace, 40, was on hand when senior paramedic Catherine Maynard had been called out to help an injured pensioner who had fallen near Endsleigh Street in central London on Monday.
Catherine, who works with London Ambulance Service's Cycle Response Unit, said: 'We were both very amused, and flattered. I couldn't believe it when he came back with some hot drinks - I was so chuffed.'

Heroes: David Beckham is proving he is a legend both on and off the pitch - after he surprised a paramedic and her elderly patient with a cup of tea and coffee when he spotted them waiting for an ambulance in London
A stunned Catherine recalled what happened when she came across the football legend as she attended to her patient.
She said: 'I was waiting with my patient for an ambulance to transfer him to hospital and although I was keeping him warm it was very cold outside.
'All of a sudden, I looked up and saw someone who looked like David Beckham walking past us. He said hello and got in his car. I said to the man I was treating, "I think that was David Beckham."
'Ten minutes later, he came back with a cup of coffee for me and a tea for the patient.
'We were both very amused, and flattered. It was awful cycling around in the cold today and I couldn't believe it when he came back with some hot drinks - I was so chuffed.'
