LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's Queen Elizabeth will present soccer star and fashion icon David Beckham with a new item of jewelry on Thursday -- a golden medal for the Order of the British Empire.

England captain Beckham will receive the red-ribboned honor at Buckingham Palace in recognition of his role in promoting Britain through his sporting and off-field achievements.

"He has been a great ambassador for the country on and off the pitch," Prime Minister Tony Blair's spokesman said when the award was announced in June.

Real Madrid player Beckham, known almost as well for his diamond ear studs as his sparkling soccer skills, is expected to collect the medal with his pop star wife Victoria.
