She passed away earlier this month aged 84, leaving the football world in mourning.
Beckham, 48, was joined by fellow Manchester United heroes including Darren Fletcher, 39, Gary Neville, 48, Nicky Butt, 48, Michael Carrick, 42, Ji Sung Park, 42, Bryan Robson, 66, and Steve Bruce, 62.
Scotland legend Kenny Dalglish, 72, Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers, 50, and ex-Rangers assistant Archie Knox, 76, were also at the service.
Sir Alex followed his late wife’s coffin out of the cathedral before shaking his hands with Canon Andrew McKenzie who conducted the service.
Outside Beckham mingled with other mourners on the pavement opposite the River Clyde.
Two cops watched from across the road while others sat in a police van keeping an eye.
Passersby watched in amazement as the ex-England captain chatted outside for around ten minutes until he was picked up by a Mercedes with blacked out windows.
Sir Alex, 81, first met Cathy in 1964 when he was just 23 and playing with Dunfermline Athletic. They married shortly after in 1966 shortly before his move to Rangers.
In his autobiography, Sir Alex wrote: “I had the good fortune to meet a wonderful girl who has been my rock for almost 50 years.”
The couple have three sons – Mark, 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 in 1968, and twin boys Darren, manager at Peterborough United, and Jason, a football agent, 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 in 1972. They also have 12 grand𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren.
