Becks, 49, was the Swedish coach’s captain during their Three Lions heyday and has flown to pay tribute in person.

A coffin has been seen being carried into Fryksande church, with a big screen outside projecting an image of Sven ahead of the service.

His former longtime lover Nancy Dell’olio, 63, will also join hundreds of mourners at a colourful funeral procession staged to celebrate the soccer legend’s life.

A source told The Sun: “David will be going to the funeral – he was very close to Sven and wants to say goodbye in person.

“It will be a low key appearance – he won’t be giving a eulogy or saying any words but will definitely be there.”

Sven succumbed to pancreatic cancer on August 26.
