Super Frankie collects OBE from Prince William for his services to football in a lavish ceremony at Buckingham Palace

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
