The Beckhams have landed!
Welcome to America David, Victoria, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz! First of the photos are coming through now and will be added to the LA Galaxy gallery. A big thanks to Tanique33 for helping with photos for the site, most kind!There are so many articles and news clips it's just a non-stop media frenzy. Thanks to Ben for helping me to keep up with things! There is extensive coverage of David Beckham's arrival Stateside including both articles and photos over at Sports Illustrated. A couple of other articles you might like to see - Land of the Freekick from the Guardian and also a humorous piece - Ventre: Beckham could supplant Kobe atop LA Scene from MSNBC
You can watch David and Victoria Beckham arriving in LA below, their children exited the airport separately to avoid the huge media scrum outside. UPDATED - I've updated the video with a clip from ESPN.
You can also watch Fox Soccer's coverage of the Beckham's arriving online here. Fox will also have live video of David Beckham's LA Galaxy presentation at 10am PT on their site.
Thanks to Tanique you can also watch a video from Youtube with Frank Yallop, Alexei Lalas, Cobi Jones and several LA Galaxy fans talking about how excited and happy they are to have David Beckham joining the club!

Here its radiant smile, is beautiful to see it happy. It knows that great challenge attends it one. Many are skeptical (the invidiosi usuals) we must remember the day in which Capello said Beckham will not play more for the REAL, know all as it is ended, not to mention MacClaren. David has character is will succeed to make great things in the soccer. Good job. Loredana, Samuele, Gabriel

I think the kids went out in another entrance. David and Victoria are parents first so they don't want the media to be all over their kids.
I can't wait for the game against Chelsea :)

I was glad to see the children weren't in the US pictures as they would have landed about 5am? UK time and the children would be tired and groggy and it would be hard on them to have be in the middle of all the media madness.
Thanks for the pics Anna and Tanique33

Thanks I'll be keeping an eye out for when it goes live I'll probably be able to wind this site right back when it does as we'll all be able to get our news and info straight from Becks :)

People keep saying the lads not that well known in the US but there sure were a lot of people at the airport!!
1:35 AM
My, my..both of them are just so drop-dead gorgeous! And that killer broad smile just completes it all...I'm swooning all the way from Malaysia, what more those ppl at the airport LOL
..and the flashes from cameras almost made it look like daytime, no wonder Vic needs shades on!
All the best, Beckhams! You are alwiz the greatest!
Thanks Anna, Tanique33, Ben for news and pix fresh from the oven =P~~

I also heard from someone watching KNBC in California that the KNBC TV channel helicopter followed them all the way back to their house and zoomed in on the door and there were lots of people at the house. I think the media thing is gonna be pretty crazy for the first few weeks and then hopefully things will calm down a little :)
2:46 AM
Yeah the media has beckhamania but its all good! its gonna put soccer and the beckhams totally on the map
3:25 AM
im' still in shock at their reception. i just could not have called it. it has to calm down soon. who can live like that? they really did get quite the reception.
thanks anna, for the arrival video. noooo. i dont' want you to wind this site back. lol.

omg im totally in love with beckham. i have an entire book that i made myself full of his pics. i can imagine myself running up to him and begging him for an autograph but then i realize that he wouldnt care because to him i would be just another fan. i hate it wen people dont think u matter. i wonder if hes like that or if he would stop to give an autograph and say something inspiring to u that made u feel as if not only are celebs important to fans the fans r important to the celebs because with out us where would they be they would be just another human being.
something inspiring
