As well as being a supportive husband, smitten father and all round gorgeous man, David Beckham is just a genuinely lovely guy.

At least that's what we've concluded after hearing about the sweet gesture David made toward a total stranger on the street in London this week.

Cycle-paramedic Catherine Maynard was helping a pensioner who had fallen on the street  when she noticed a passer-by who looked very familiar.

"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,” she explained.

"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… 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," says Catherine of her reaction.

"It was awful cycling around in the cold and I couldn't believe it when he came back with some hot drinks – I was so chuffed."

Too cute. Catherine's employer, The London Ambulance Service has praised David for his sweet gesture, and is encouraging others to make their own random acts of kindness á la Mr. Beckham.
