David Beckham jokes about his extensive hat collection as he goes for a stroll in the Cotswolds

He has been keeping busy while under lockdown in the Cotswolds by enjoying family walks in the countryside near their sprawling pad.

And David Beckham joked that he was on yet ‘another walk’ wearing ‘another hat’, as he posed for a snap while exploring the local surroundings on Saturday afternoon.

The ex-sportsman, 45, looked typically dapper in an olive green jumper, which he teamed with a trusty flat cap and a pair of stylish corduroy trousers.

David leaned on what appeared to be a shepherd’s crook while posing for the shot, which he playfully captioned: ‘Another day , another walk & another hat.’

The former footballer was stood in a luscious overgrown green field filled with daisies and trees, and it was unclear who had joined him for the walk.

So far David has showcased a selection of tweed flat caps, floppy country hats and even a red beanie on his Instagram page while in lockdown.

The snap comes amid claims David and his wife Victoria, 46, are locked in a disagreement with neighbours over privacy concerns at their £31.5m west London home, after the couple previously blocked his renovation plans. 

David and fashion designer Victoria won a planning battle in April after claiming a proposed balcony may have overlooked their garden – but the resident has now submitted new plans and sought advice from the council.

Earlier this week, it was claimed the parents-of-four had planned to beef up the security around their £6m Cotswolds barn conversion, allegedly leaving their countryside neighbours irate.

According to The Sun, the neighbour, who moved near the media personalities’ upscale townhouse in the Notting Hill area in November 2019, initially submitted plans to update his new abode with a outdoor space, internal alterations and a slate roof with roof light.

The application was refused after David and Victoria stressed concerns about a balcony and claimed that installing a light in the roof of his property would ‘spoil’ the setting of their mansion.

The neighbour is now said to have sought pre-planning advice from the council, with the board recommending that the plans are approved but with ‘mediation’ from the famous family.

A source told the publication: ‘I encourage you to discuss your proposals with all neighbours with a boundary with your site, as we will advise them of any application. The proposed rear terrace would not give rise to overlooking to the rear.

‘It also appears likely that it would not allow for overlooking of the mews properties either side… 

‘In all other respects there are no concerns with the impact of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers in terms of light, sense of enclosure, noise or privacy.’ 

MailOnline has contacted David and Victoria’s representatives for further comment. 

The reports came after the paper also claimed those who live close to David and Victoria’s Cotswold home believe the reported plans for ‘gatehouses and security huts’ will ‘ruin the ambience’ of the quaint Oxfordshire bolthole.  

David has submitted plans to increase security with a gatehouse manned by 24-hour guards and an underground getaway tunnel.

His proposed security measures come as several footballers ramp up security at their homes, including Spurs midfielder Dele Alli, 24, who was held at knifepoint with his girlfriend Ruby Mae, 21, at his house in Hertfordshire last month.

They have applied to West Oxfordshire District Council for permission to build a gatehouse to ‘improve security for occupants’ at the mansion and surrounding grounds. 

In the application it states two existing employees will work on the site full-time.

The Daily Star reports that these two members of staff are security guards who will man the security hut 24 hours a day. 

Also included in the ex-England captain’s plans is an underground getaway tunnel which provides access from the main building to a proposed wine cellar under the existing garage.

The application is currently under review by councillors and a decision will be given in the coming weeks. 

David and Victoria have also requested permission to add another three bays to their garage, increasing the building from four bays to seven.

They have been spending lockdown in their Cotswolds home with three of their children, Romeo, 17, Cruz, 15, and Harper, eight. 

Eldest son Brooklyn, 21, has spent lockdown in Los Angeles with girlfriend Nicola Peltz, 25, at her family’s multi-million dollar mansion.  

The footballing legend joins a host of other Premier League players who are increasing security at their homes. 

Dele Alli has been reviewing security after he and his girlfriend, Ruby Mae, 21, were held at knifepoint.

Two males wearing balaclavas broke into the back of Alli’s north London property just after midnight on May 12 before threatening the Spurs star — who was isolating with his brother Harry Hickford, their two partners and a long-term friend.

Following a scuffle, during which Alli suffered a minor facial injury, the two culprits took various items including jewellery and watches before fleeing. 

Others, including Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford, 22, and Jesse Lingard, 27, ex-Man United defender Rio Ferdinand, 41, and Man City’s Raheem Sterling, 25, have opted to get guard dogs. 

Spurs goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, 33, is reported to have spent £25,000 on a guard dog to protect his home.
