Former
England international Frank Lampard admitted he was 'humbled' after
being honoured with an OBE by Prince William for his services to
football.
The
ceremony took place at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday and the ex-Chelsea
star chatted to the Duke of Cambridge as he received the medal.
The
New York City midfielder was joined by fiancee Christine Bleakley and
his two daughters, Isla and Luna, as they posed for photographs.
Speaking
after receiving his honour, Lampard said: 'As a personal achievement
goes, this ranks up there with my achievements on the pitch and what I
won with Chelsea, and playing for my country.
'But
to receive an award like this among some very special people here,
military, people who are doing a lot of good work in charity, it's very
humbling to be here.'
The
midfielder has had an illustrious career in the game and is Chelsea's
all-time top goalscorer with 211 goals before he agreed to join brand
new Major League Soccer franchise New York City and spent time on-loan
at Manchester City.
The
37-year-old began his career at West Ham and not long after making his
debut, he won his first full cap for England in 1999 - going on to win
105 more
