From Metro UK:

It was all too much for one boy, who was reduced to tears of disbelief, while a woman's flamboyant dance routine was stopped in its tracks.

Although many were speechless, some were able to ask him questions about his future at LA Galaxy and whether he likes pie and mash.

'It was a unique experience for me and the people who took part,' the star said afterwards. 'And there were some great reactions when we surprised them.[...]'

Word is that Beckham will have a role in the Opening Ceremony on Friday, even though he was snubbed for the British men's soccer team. After that … well, there are a lot of shopping centers in the U.K., with a lot of photo booths.
